OPEN JUMP SEAT NOISE, REDUCTION
ALTERNATE JUMP SEAT PROVISION
In vehicles with intercom headset, positions installed in open jump seat locations, the
combination of wind, road, and engine noise picked up by these jump seat headsets can, in
some cases,produce excessive background noise in the intercom system. Additionally,wide
variations in engine noise (from idle to high RPM) can falsely trigger the intercom VOX
(voice activated) feature. 'Ibis is especially true for older vehicles with open jump seats
located right next to the vehicle engine.
The recommended remedy for the above is to order an additional push-to-talk switch
encased in blue mounting box for each open jump seat position. These switches can be
conveniently mounted at each jump seat location and wired so that the jump seat headset
microphone is disabled until the switch is pressed. 'fhc f rcfighter then uses the push-to-talk
on the intercom instead of the VOX (voice activated) intercom feature. Push-to-talk buttons
wired in this way only activate the intercom. They do not let the jump seat locations talk on
the vehicle radio.
Alternately, you can order SIGTRONTCS headsets (SE-2P or SE-40P) with the intercom
push-to-talk switch already mounted on the carcup for the open jump seat positions. The
Iirerighter then uses the push-lo-talk button on his headset carcup to talk on the intercom
instead of the VOX feature. The advantage of this method is that it eliminates having to
mount and wire additional push-to-talk buttons for the jump seats. Note however, most
departments prefer to have all the headsets on the vehicle(s)the same so that any headset can
be used on any position. "the headsets with intercom push-to-talk switches on them (SE-2P
and SE-40P) cannot be used in a position that has radio transmit capability such as the driver
or officer's position.
