Battery-Powered Emergency Handset

The Vitavox Battery-Powered Emergency Handset is based on previously employed handsets, but with significant enhancements reflecting user requirements.

Multiple handsets can be connected to a dual copper wire forming a standalone, non-interfering communication channel.

• No requirement for power from any vessel systems
• All power provided by PP3 9V batteries
• Up to 50 handsets used in the same circuit
• Approximately 12 hours constant use
• Low battery warning pulse light
• ‘Press-to-talk’ switch operated to enable speech
• Provide direct communications between personnel
• Each handset has call up and speech facility
• The handset still operates if ship/ boat/ submarine incurs power failure
• During speech, the call tone is locked out
• Hardwired through standard two-wire copper cable
• Call tone operated by two buttons located near earpiece and press-to-talk bar
• Used where lines are not wired, for field use or ‘on the fly’ communication
