ON/OFF Switch/Volume Control
The ON/OFF SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL is a combined single
control located on the top of the VP220. (see Fig.2)
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 VP220 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
direction reduces the audio level, and turns the VP220 off.
Audible/Visual Alert Indicators
When your VP220 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.

If the battery voltage falls below the level required for operation,
a low battery pulse tones sounds and the red LED flashes. If in
vibration mode, just the red LED flashes to indicate a low battery
state.
Function Switch
According to the specific model ordered, the function switch will
be configured to 4 positions. Different function modes (monitor/
selective call, scan, etc.) can be configured for any position of
the switch.
Channel Monitoring
When the function switch is set to a monitor position, all voice
communications on the selected channel is heard through the
speaker. When monitoring channel 1 or 2 all ordered alert options
are functional.

Reset Button / Batton 1
After receipt of a properly coded message and after completion of
that message, the VP220 will automatically reset to the programmed
operational mode (see reset on pager 2 options). Some of these
reset functions will place the pager in the monitor mode. In these
cases, or when the manual reset function is programmed into the
pager, press the reset button to return your VP220 to the standby
mode.
External Speaker Jack
When the VP220 is used in high-noise environments or when
privacy is needed, an optional Gold Apollo approved lapel speaker
or earpiece can be connected to the external accessory jack located
at the bottom of the VP220. The jack is fitted with a protective plug.
(see Fig.2)
NOTE: To prevent entry of dust and moisture, the plug should be
inserted whenever the external accessory jack is not being
used.
