Four Zone Paging PA Amplifier
13.0 A 4488 GENERAL PAGING
To page to a zone select the desired zone/s by pressing the buttons 1- 4 or by pressing the “All Call” button if all zones
are desired. Make sure the switch is in the centre position before selecting the zones. The selected zones’ LED’s will illumi-
nate to indicate they have been pressed. Move the “Push to talk” switch down to the “Page” position and speak into the
microphone. Release the PTT switch when finished. The selected zones’ LED’s will flash for a few seconds after paging has
finished. While these LED’s are still flashing paging can be directed to these zones again by simply moving the PTT switch
back to the “Page” position.
If two paging consoles are connected to the system one console will be “Locked Out” when the other is in use.
Paging to the selected zones will override the background music to those zones, if the BGM was selected to be active by
the amplifier front panel switches.
14.0 BACKGROUND MUSIC (REAR OF A 4488 PAGING CONSOLE)
Background music to the four output zones is primarily fed from the audio output of the amplifier and selected by the
front panel switches. But the background music can also be fed from the rear of the A 4488 paging consoles.
This second method involves connecting an audio source (such as a mobile phone, tablet etc.) to the 3.5mm input jack on
the rear of the paging microphone as shown in Figure 10. This provides a local source of background music.
To activate the background music, first make sure the Push to Talk (PTT) switch is in the centre position and then select
the zones to receive the background music. The selected zones LED indicators will flash to signify they have been selected.
Next move the PTT switch to the up position which is lablelled “Lock On”. While the switch is in this position and only this
position will the background music will be piped out to the zones selected.
The volume is adjusted by the BGM volume trimpot on the rear of the microphone.
If the PTT switch is moved to the “Page” position the background music will stop and paging will be active.
If the PTT switch is in the centre position the BGM and paging are not active.
If background music is required again to the same zones as previously selected, then all thats needed to initiate it again is
to move the PTT switch back to the “Lock On” position.
If the BGM is to be piped to different zones then it is only a matter of selecting the new zones, and then moving the PTT
switch to the “Lock On” position.
