SRX-SL Flip-To-Mute Feature

This feature requires VoiceCatalyst 4.2 or later (A700x).
This feature requires VoiceCatalyst 2.5 or later (A500/A700).

The SRX-SL Headset has a flip-to-mute feature.

  • When the microphone boom is down (i.e., horizontal, at mouth level), the microphone is active.
  • When the microphone boom is up (i.e., vertical) the microphone is muted.
  • In most cases, moving the microphone from horizontal to vertical functions the same as pressing the play/pause button on the device to pause the device.
  • In most cases, moving the microphone from vertical to horizontal functions the same as pressing the play/pause button on the device to start or resume play.

Flip-to-Mute and VoiceCatalyst

Refer to the following parameters to configure flip-to-mute behavior:

If the microphone boom is up  (muted)m when an operator begins using the device, the device may immediately respond with "good night" after the attempted start.
The operator should bring the microphone boom down at that point and restart,

Within the VoiceCatalyst menus

  • If the microphone boom is up, the options for noise sample and retrain templates do not appear in the device menu.
  • If the microphone boom is down, the options for noise sample and retrain templates appear in the device menu

During Noise Sample or Training/Retraining Templates

  • These options can only be accessed while the microphone boom is down.
  • If the microphone boom is moved up during any of these options, the device goes to sleep.

During Tasks

  • The operator can progress through the task only when the microphone boom is down.
  • If the microphone boom is raised up, the device continues to run the task, but the device does not respond to the operator's voice.
  • If the microphone boom is raised up during the task and the operator presses the Play/Pause button while the boom is up, the device goes to sleep and speaks "goodnight".

No Operator or No Task Loaded

Moving the microphone boom up or down does not start the prompt to load an operator. The user must press the Play/Pause button to load the task or operator.

  • Moving the microphone boom up or down does not interrupt the prompt.
  • Pressing the Play/Pause button does interrupt the prompt.

Disconnect and Reconnect Same Headset

Disconnecting and reconnecting the same headset leaves the device asleep.

  • If the microphone boom is down when reconnected, a noise sample is performed if needed. Otherwise the task continues.
  • If the microphone boom is up, the device remains asleep.

Disconnect and Reconnect Different Headset

Disconnecting and reconnecting another headset (with different or no association) leaves the device asleep.

  • The operator load prompt does not start if the microphone boom is down when the headset is connected.
  • Moving the microphone boom to the horizontal position starts the operator load prompt.
  • The prompt can be started by pressing the Play/Pause button on the device. In this case, the prompt cannot be canceled by moving the microphone boom up or down.
