A:A headset can connect to SimPad to create two-way communication between the operator and the simulator and surroundings.
Plug an analogue headset (4 pin jack) into the SimPad. The microphone of the headset will now be routed to the manikin. If a microphone is connected to the Link Box as an alternative one, this microphone will now be routed to the headset.
The yellow button on the SimPad can be configured in the Preferences menu to enable and disable the input from the headset.
The headset output on the Link Box duplicates the sound to the manikin. It can be used to improve the sound by adding additional speakers around the manikin.

SimPad System Frequently Asked Questions
1.The one to the left is shock activation: If the slider is set active (the yellow lightning is visible) and the state is open, it will be activated if a shock is detected by the simulator.
2.The control to the right is transition time. Set your transition time to e.g. 0:30 and all the parameters in state will change gradually from the current state to the active one over 30 seconds. If the transition time is set to 0:00, the changes will happen immediately.
Q:Can you delete a state in manual mode?
A: Yes, hold down the state until it begins to “wiggle” and an “X” appears in the corner. Press the “X” and the state will be deleted. To return to the original theme, select Menu > Revert to saved theme.
