For each headset, the user can activate or deactivate the squelch for that headset. A user will probably desire squelch
for wired headsets, to keep breathing noises and small background noises from entering the system. Squelch is not
necessary for Wireless Bases since these already have squelch built in.
Figure 18
Squelch
The Squelch is a system wide squelch adjust. All headsets that have squelch enabled will respond to changes in the
squelch level. To change the Squelch level, press the Squelch up or Squelch down buttons to increase or decrease the
squelch level. Higher squelch levels are needed for higher noise environments.
Tech Note:
For wireless base stations, it is suggested that you disable squelch for the headset port which you have plugged your
wireless base into.
