VOCIA DESK STATION 4/10 (DS-4/DS-10)
DS-4 DS-10
The Vocia® Desk Stations 4/10 (DS-4/DS-10) are digital networked paging devices. Both the DS-4 and the DS-10 feature embedded DSP
processing and on-board memory to support standard and advanced public address and mass notication functionalities. The DS-4 can
store four user-congurable Page Codes; and the DS-10 can store 999 user-congurable Page Codes. Additionally, all device-specic
conguration information is stored locally, which means the Desk Stations do not rely on a centralized controller for processing and page
routing. Thus, the processing, routing and storage functionality in a Vocia system is decentralized and spread across multiple networked
devices. This eliminates the single point of failure and builds redundancy directly into the network. As part of the Vocia network, the DS-4
and DS-10 are a perfect t for paging requirements in facilities of all sizes.

Setup and Use
The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for conguration, DSP equalization and programming of the DS-4 and DS-10 compnents.
The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on software setup, please consult
the Vocia Help File.
Display
Both the DS-4 and the DS-10 features a backlit display that provides the user with an easy-to-read interface to view paging information.
Microphone
The DS-4 and the DS-10 microphone has a cardioid polar pattern. Correct operation of the microphone is essential for good speech
intelligibility. The recommended distance between the user’s mouth and the microphone is between 2 and 4 inches (50 and 100mm).
Closer use may cause distortion and unwanted bass boost, while more distant use may result in inadequate sound level.
Soft Key Buttons
Two soft key buttons are located to the right of the display. In the default state they are used as “Next” and “Previous” buttons to browse
through the Page Codes assigned to either the DS-4 or the DS-10. If PIN security is enabled (see PIN Security section of this document for
more information), the soft key buttons are used to “Clear” or “Enter” PIN entries. During a delayed page, the soft key buttons are used
to cancel the delayed page if required.
Destination Buttons
On the DS-4 there are four buttons located below the display which enables the user to select from one fo four predetermned Page Codes.
On the DS-10, the ten-digit keypad located below the display enables the user to select from one of 999 predetermined Page Codes. The
destination buttons are set up using the Vocia software. For stations that are PIN-enabled (see PIN Security section of this document for
more information), these buttons are also used for PIN entry.
Push-to-Talk Button
The Push-to-Talk (PTT) button, represented by the speaker icon, triggers the action associated with the selected Page Code
(generally a live page, delayed page or recorded message).
Status LEDs
The status LEDs are located directly above the PTT button and inform the user of the current state of the paging station once the PTT
button is pressed. The left amber LED “Wait” indicator illuminates while the system establishes audio paths, checks for zone availability,
and plays the chime (if selected). The right green LED “Please Talk Now” indicator illuminates once the DS-4 or DS-10 audio path is live.
