Sidetone Adjustment - Telex Audiocom US-2002 User Instructions

Sidetone Adjustment

The US-2002 uses full-duplex audio, the same as a conventional telephone line, in which the talk and listen audio are sent and
received on the same line. Thus, when you talk on a channel, you also hear your own voice back in the speaker or headphones.
This is called sidetone.
If you are using the US-2002 with a microphone and speaker, sidetone could cause unwanted feedback, since the microphone
may pick up your returned voice audio and re-amplify it. This could also happen if you are using a headset where the ear
cushions do not completely cover the ears. In either case, you should minimize the amount of sidetone.
NOTE: If you are using headphone that completely enclose the ears, you may want a certain amount of your own voice
level heard to overcome the muffled sensation when talking.

Simultaneously press the ALL Talk and PA keys to activate the test tone.
