Unit already busy in a conversation

If you try to open an intercom connection to another person that is already talking with some one else (or is in a middle of a phone conversation), you will hear a “busy” double beep tone. Just wait sometime and try again, maybe this time the “line” is not busy.
The person who is called, will be advised that someone is trying to call and will hear a voice announcement with the number of the button from which the request is coming.

In this way as soon as the first conversation is over, the person can easily contact the caller by opening the intercom of the specific button number (indicated by the voice announcement).

Conference
The “Conference” mode allows the simultaneous communication between 4 people. You can decide to use the BTX1 PRO S in “one to one” communication up to 4 people (“classic” Intercom mode) or with 4 people in Conference mode.

How to use the conference mode
First of all you need to pair all the units in a “chain” mode, second the “Conference” feature must be active on all the units paired.
Pairing
Attention: Before starting this procedure, make the reset of the pairings on all units.
To use the conference mode you need to pair all the units in a “chain” configuration.
The BWD button of the first unit must be paired to the FWD button of the second unit.
The BWD button of the second unit must be paired to the FWD button of the third unit and so on, till the fourth!
The first and the last unit must not be paired together (the chain must stay open).
The unit number 1 can talk to the last unit (number 4) only “through” the unit number 2 and number 3. That means to have the conference with four people, all the unit must have the intercom open.

Activate Conference mode
In any mode with no active audio, keep pressed the FWD and Central buttons for 3 sec.
The voice announcement “Conference” will tell you that it is active.
When the Conference mode is active the Bluetooth devices paired on “Vol+/ Vol-” buttons are disconnected, the paring on CTRL button and the Universal Intercom are not available. Now only the paring on FWD and BWD buttons are available.
