Increase headset volume using the headset volume button on the side of the belt pack. Push the + symbol button until
you reach desired volume. In extremely loud environments, you will need to use the dual ear muff headset with noise
cancelling properties. If you still can't hear, you may be out of range and need to move closer to the user network.

First, adjust the microphone sensitivity setting on the side of the belt pack by pushing the + button incrementally until
you reach desired sensitivity level. Move the microphone closer to your mouth and speak up clearly. For example, people
with softer voices should set their belt packs to a more sensitive microphone level.

Your rechargeable batteries may be running low. If batteries are weak, the Group LED's will slowly flash. Your belt pack

PrOPEr iNTErCOm ETiquETTE
Anchorman is designed to allow 4 people to speak at once in close quarters and one person to speak at a time when the
belt packs are far apart.. Use proper intercom etiquette – wait to break into the conversation network until the other belt
pack users have stopped speaking. If a large number of users are in the network, we suggest PTT to allow members to
jump in and out of conversation.
