STAGE ANNOUNCE
For paging applications, the station provides a balanced, line-level output
signal to a connector on the rear panel. The front panel Stage Announce button
activates the output and the Stage Announce relay.
SIGNALING
Visual “call” signaling attracts the attention of operators who have removed
their headsets or turned off their speakers. The station provides individual Call
buttons for each channel to signal all stations on the channel(s).
When a remote station operator sends a Call signal, the CS-222’s associated
Talk button lights brightly. The Visual Signal circuit is also used to activate the
optional remote page feature at other stations.
