6USING A HEADSET WITH BOOM MICROPHONEA headset is a very useful accessory when operating in a busy EOC. At each of the hospitalstations equipped with TM-D710 radio, we have provided a Yamaha CM-500 headset,footswitch, and junction box for connecting these accessories to the radio. The junction box hasan attached external speaker. See Figure 7.Figure 7There are four connectors on the front panel of the junction box. From left to right:HAND MIC Plug the radio’s hand microphone in here.PTT Plug the footswitch in here.HS MIC Plug the headset’s microphone connector in here.RADIO Plug a CAT-5 or CAT-6 cable in here and plug the other end into the mic jack onthe side of the TX/RX Unit.There are two connectors on the rear panel of the junction box. From left to right:RX AUD Plug a 3.5 mm mono or stereo cable in here and plug the other end into the SP1jack on the back of the TX/RX Unit.HS EAR Plug the headset’s headphone (earpiece) connector in here.Note the toggle switch on the side of the external speaker. With the switch up, received audio isheard in both the speaker and the attached headset. With the switch down, sound is heard only inthe headset.With the junction box in line, the hand microphone works normally (including all of its buttons).When the footswitch is depressed, transmit audio is taken from the headset’s microphone ratherthan the hand microphone, but the DTMF keys on the hand microphone remain functional. Thisenables you, for example, to dial an autopatch call while using the headset.
