Communication is performed from the phone connected to the console, whether it is a land line (POTS) or a mobile phone. The operation for both cases is described below.

​
Mobile Phone

  • Via Bluetooth:
    1. From the mobile phone, call the radio station.
    2. Once the connection is established, use the microphones and headphones connected to the MX2100 to communicate with the studio.
    3. If the radio station calls the journalist, the ring is heard in the headphones and the call signal on the mobile phone.
    4. The call can be accepted from the mobile phone itself or by briefly pressing # 9 on the console.
  • Via hands-free cable (deprecated):
    1. Place the call from the mobile phone.
    2. Once connected, press the PHONE button on the console.
    3. Connect the “hands-free” cable (already connected to the Cellular & Phone input of the MX2100) to the mobile phone’s connector.
    4. From this point on, the conversation is conducted using the console’s microphones and headphones.
To end the communication from a mobile phone, hang up and disconnect using the mobile phone’s keypad (refer to the phone’s manual).

​
Land line (POTS)

  1. Press the PHONE button to seize the line.
  2. Dial the radio station’s number using the console’s DTMF keypad.
  3. Once the connection is established:
    • Speak from the microphones connected to the MX2100.
    • Listen to the Studios in the headphones.
    • The program signal (console output) is sent to the radio station via the line.
  4. To end the call: press the PHONE button again, which will return to its outward position, terminating the call.
  5. For incoming calls from the radio station:
    • The incoming RING is heard in the headphones.
    • The call is answered directly from the console.

​
If the communication is interrupted…

  • Mobile phone:
    • The mobile phone itself ends the call.
    • The MX2100 operator can wait for the radio station to call back and answer from the mobile, or press # 9 on the console to answer.
    • The link with the radio station is restored.
  • Land line (POTS):
    • If the call is dropped, release the ON-AIR button to initiate or receive the new communication.
    • In case of an incoming call from the radio station:
      • The RING is heard in the headphones.
      • Answer directly from the console by pressing ON-AIR.

  • The console transmits to the Studio using a mobile phone paired via Bluetooth.
  • As a transmission backup, a land line (POTS) can be connected.
  • The Studio return feed enters, via Bluetooth, directly into the headphone mix.
  • The mix of up to three microphones and one line input (which allows connecting, for example, a portable recorder) is sent on-air.
Connecting the line input disables the internal microphone (MIC-4).
