Talk

To talk to the desired group, simply press down the corresponding LISTEN/TALK key down.
The TALK key has two modes of operation, depending on how the user interacts with it:
•
Push to Talk: Keeping the LISTEN/TALK key pressed down for more than one second will activate
this function, enabling the microphone. You will be able to speak until you release the TALK key, at
which point the function will be deactivated and with it the microphone.
• Latch: Pressing the down key quickly (less than 1 second) will activate the microphone. The
moment you quickly press on the LISTEN/TALK key down again, the microphone will be muted. You
can Enable/Disable this function on the NEBULA configuration software corresponding channel.
The display will show an icon of a microphone in green in the corresponding group when it is active or in gray
when the microphone is deactivated.
In some circumstances the TALK key will not be available -showing its microphone icon in red- such as when
the group is defined as ONE TO MANY and at this time the turn to TALK is being used by another user.
The system gives the TALK to any other user after a minute in an attempt to clean ambient noise in the
channel or to avoid carelessness of the interlocutor who has initiated the conversation.
Note: Depending on the configuration assigned to the device, it is possible that this function is not
enabled and therefore it is not possible to talk. This condition is shown by a different microphone
icon.
The groups that appear in the different Displays show a microphone icon in green when it is active or in gray
when the microphone is deactivated. Depending on the configuration of the group, a red microphone or an
absence of microphone may be displayed, indicating that it is not possible to talk. Check NEBULA system
configuration.

Listen

To listen to the desired group press up briefly the corresponding LISTEN/TALK key. It is possible to listen to
just one channel or a combination of all available channels mixed.
Note: Depending on the group priority settings, certain users may be muted by the microphone
opening action of other users and will not be heard. Consult your intercom system administrator to
restore priorities to the specific use of the intercom system.
