Handsfree Talkback
Amplifier
May 25, 2000
The HF-3W handsfree paging unit allows employees to respond to a paging message without reaching for the telephone. It is perfect for use in city
desks, shipping and service applications where
quick answers are needed.
The HF-3W generates its own talk battery and will
interface with unused trunk ports on PABX’s and
key systems, and single line phones, as well as
some telephone systems with a two-way paging
port and a contact closure.
Allow Employees to Respond to Paging
Messages, Handsfree!

1. Under normal background noise levels, set the Paging Volume control so that the page may be heard as
required. Then set the Talk Back Volume control in the middle (12 o’clock) position.
2. Test talk-back to be sure that the HF-3W will switch between paging and talk-back for your desired operating dis-
tance and noise level.
3. Adjust the Talk Back Volume control as necessary for your environment. The louder the background noise level,
the more you will have to decrease the Talk Back Volume and the shorter your talk-back distance will be.
When sitting idle, the HF-3W allows audio from a background music source or an existing paging system’s speaker output
to pass through to the paging horn.
Handsfree talk back paging is achieved by either accessing the two-way paging port, accessing the unused trunk port, or
coming off-hook on the single/multi-line phone. At this time, the background music is muted, a page alert tone is given and
paging with talk back is enabled.
Note: An optional second 25AE
Paging Horn may be added in parallel
to the existing horn to increase the
paging area.
If the Paging Input is to be connected to a paging port, the paging port must allow two-way talk path and provide a
contact closure during paging. Disable the Talk Battery by removing the Talk Battery Shunt (JP1) before connecting
to the paging port.
If the background noise is too loud for the HF-3W’s VOX circuit to operate properly, you will need to add a “push-totalk” button across screw terminals 9 and 10, and remove shunt JP2. The “push-to-talk” button may be installed at
either the telco end or the speaker end. Use a normally open switch for the telco side or use a normally closed switch
for the speaker side.

B. Loud Background Noise Environment
C. Two-Way Paging Port Interface
If a page alert tone is not required, set the Alert Tone Volume to minimum (see diagram above).
D. Page Alert Tone
Note: For loud background noise, an
optional “Push-to-T alk” button may be
added, using a N/O or N/C switch or
the Viking SW-2 panel mount switch
(Fax Back Document 844).
Important: JP2 must be removed.
