Alert Output (Speaker)

Setting alerts to a separate device allows you to hear incoming calls even while on an active call through your headset.

Call Output (Headset)

Device used for voice audio from active calls. This is typically your headset.

Separating call audio from alerts ensures you hear coordination traffic clearly while alerts come through speakers.

Volume Controls

Adjust the volume for different audio types. All volumes range from 30% to 100%.

Control Affects Range
Ring Volume Incoming call tones, dialing tones 30-100%
Call Volume Voice audio from active calls 30-100%
Override Volume Override alert sounds 30-100%
Minimum Volume
The minimum volume is 30% to ensure you don't miss important calls or alerts. You cannot mute these sounds completely.
