Question   How do I Properly Clean and Disinfect my Telex Headset?   Answer   This memo describes specific disinfectants and cleaning methods that are acceptable for use on RTS and Telex headset and microphone products.   Approved cleaning agents are listed below. Sani-Cide EX by Celeste Industries or minimum 70% isopropyl alcohol are preferred.   1. Sani-Cide EX3 produced by Celeste Industries 2. Matrix Disinfectant/Cleaner #3 produced by Jon-Don 3. NETBIOKEM DSAM produced by PSA 4. Isopropyl alcohol at least 70%.   Cleaning Procedure: Remove porous foam components such as ear cushions and foam microphone windscreen. Apply cleaning agent to a soft towel to clean the plastic and metal parts. Cleaner should wipe off or evaporate quickly. *Do not soak or allow the cleaner to puddle on the unit. *Do not allow any liquid to touch the speaker or microphone element directly as this may cause damage.

Question If C-Soft closes down during a NENA call, will the call be still be heard?   Answer NENA port audio will only work if C-Soft is first running. NENA audio will continue to route between Phone system and headset if C-Soft or PC is accidentally closed or shut down for whatever reason. Without C-Soft first being launched NENA will not work. Additional testing shows that if C-Soft was started but couldn't get a license (server operation failure), the user can select Demo Mode and have NENA audio route to headset.  

Question After updating my IP-224 to firmware v2.7 it is asking for the old password.  What should I type for the old password?   Answer You should use admin.  

Question What port number does the Sentinel driver use?   Answer The Sentinel driver uses ports 6001, 6002, 7001 and 7002. For C-Soft to run these ports need to be allowed to pass through all firewalls. This is especially true if you are using server enabled keys.           © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question When sending out pages the console steers the page to the correct channel, but then immediately switches back to whatever channel was selected prior to the page.  Need it to stay on the paged out channel.   Answer This is standard operation if the page button is configured with 0 in the "Talk Time" field.  Typically if you send pages and voice on the same channel it is expected that the "Talk Time" field has a value inserted to keep the radio keyed allowing the dispatcher time to press PTT so your not bouncing the radio RF final with a very short de-key.
