PA-4000RC
For announcements with a PA-4000RC:
1) Prior to the first announcement, turn the vol-
ume control AUDIO LEVEL (44) on the rear
side of the zone paging microphone approx .
to mid-position .
2) Use the buttons beneath Z1 to Z4 (41) to pre-

at the same time (even if different zones are
to be addressed) .
When the current announcement is
being made via a zone paging microphone
of the same or higher priority, you must wait

crophone of higher priority can interrupt the
announcement ( ☞ chapter 6 .5 .2 for priority
setting) .
3) Keep the button TALK (43) on the micro-

the supply voltage is available and will start
flashing in case of a malfunction of the
microprocessor in the PA-4000RC
MIC FAULT/ LOW VOLTAGE (35) – will light
up in case of a microphone failure and will
start flashing when the supply voltage is
too low; an additional power supply unit
may be used when the supply voltage is
too low ( ☞ chapter 5 .5 .2, step 3)

COMPRESSION – in the position ON, the
dynamics of the microphone signal will be
attenuated in order to reduce distortions
when announcements are made in a loud
voice
