ON/OFF Switch/Volume Control
The ON/OFF SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL is a combined single
control located on the top of the VP200 as shown on page 5.
Turning the control knob a few degrees in a clockwise direction
applies power to the receiver, and an audible beep is sounded
to indicate that the VP200 is turned on. As the control is rotated in
a clockwise direction, the volume level of any received. Message
and alert tone is increased. Rotating the control in the opposite
(counterclockwise) direction reduces the audio level, and turns
the VP200 off.
Audible/Visual Alert Indicators
When your VP200 is initially turned on, both the red and amber
LEDs on the control panel light and an alert tone is sounded until
the decoder circuit power-up is complete. Thereafter, whenever
a properly encoded message is received, the red LED flashes
and an audio alert is sounded.
