How to call in to the control room
Make sure the line is clear and not "latched in". Pick up the handset in the control room and listen for a dial tone.
|
|
| If you do not hear a dial tone, hang up the receiver and click the switch to "answer." |
| |
Have the guest dial: 512-471-5312 (The number is on the phone) |
|
| When the guest calls the phone ring is quiet, almost like clicking instead of ringing, but there is a red light that lights up with each ring. |
| |
| Pick up the receiver and let the guest know what to expect. | |
When you're ready for them to go on the air, momentarily push the switch to the "Hang Up" position and THEN hang up the receiver. |
This does not "hang up" on your guest at all. It latches them in and sends their signal to the audio board. |
|
The guest should be able to hear talent |
. The guest should also be able to hear the producer through the IFB mic, when the IFB REMOTE talk button is pressed. |
|
The audio operator should press the source button on Channel 11 of the wheatsone until "PHONE" appears in the source window. Do not press and hold for more than 3 seconds...a simple push will do. Then that channel will operate like any other. Adjust levels accordingly. |
| |
When done with the "on-air" portion of the phone conversation, pick up the receiver and push the momentary switch to "Answer". | |
| Thank the guest for participating, say your goodbyes and hang up. |
