VOLUME
The volume control is opened by touching the volume soft function key or using gesture control by finger tracing an elliptical path anywhere around the display.
The volume control has settings for master (can be disabled in Speaker Settings) and individual speaker audio levels.

MUTE
A touch of any speaker icon will toggle the mute state of the channel where the touch is made; a second touch unmutes the speaker. The bottom softkey icon will mute all channels, overriding the current individual channel mutes.
There is no equivalent overall unmute.

ASSIGNING LINES TO SPEAKERS
Lines are managed by system administrators and users are granted permission to access them.
ALTO has a series of menus allowing users to configure and customise their device including selecting which lines are assigned to the 4 speaker channels.
Only lines that a user has permission to access will be shown in the ALTO menu list.

GROUP TALK
A group may be programmed to include between 1 and 4 of the speaker channels.
Pressing the group talk softkey is functionally the same as pressing the specific combination of speaker channel keys simultaneously, so that the user can talk on all selected lines concurrently.
If no group is defined when the group talk button is pressed, then this action brings up the Group-Talk program screen.
The Group Talk program menu can also be accessed by touching the program menu icon .

PRIVACY
Privacy operates to prevent other users on the local site from listening to or barging in to a call once it is connected.
Speaker channels can be made private before or during a call by touching a channel’s left call state icon area, where a mini ‘privacy’ icon [privact icon here] is displayed.
The key has a toggling effect. The privacy state of a call is forgotten once the call is cleared.

Each of the 4 speaker channels may be adjusted to set the incoming ring volume between 0-10, where 0 is off.

2. Touch the Program Speaker Key icon .
3. Select Edit and the appropriate Channel.
4. Adjust the Alert volume by using the slider, press tick to save.

The Alert volume control will be hidden if the selected channel is a broadcast (Hoot) line.

FRONT VIEW DESCRIPTION

ALR & PRIORITY

Automatic Level Reduction (ALR) comes into effect when audio is also being received on a channel with a higher priority.
Volume on the channel with the lower priority is reduced in line with its ALR value (none, ¼, ½, ¾ or mute).

1. Open the Program Menu .
2. Touch the Speaker keys icon .
3. Select Edit then choose the line to configure.
