When the Unit is in Use
• Shouldthefollowingirregularitybefoundduringuse,immediatelyswitchoffthepower,disconnectthepower
supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the
unitinthisconditionasthismaycausereorelectricshock.
· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit
· If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
· If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
· (Applicable to VX-3000DS only)
If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.)
· If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds)
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could

PowerSupply,andauser-speciednumberofRemoteMicrophones.
The VX-3000 system allows 3 types of broadcasts to be made: General-purpose broadcast such as general
paging and BGM, Emergency broadcast that the emergency messages are to be broadcast by an automatic
announcement device or remote microphone, All-zone emergency broadcast* that is to be made available even
during system malfunctions or failures.
The dedicated software is used to perform all necessary settings related to the entire system operation and
functionsincludingsystemcongurations,input-to-outputsignalrouting,functionassignmenttotheoperation
keys, operation of the control terminals, and selection of the failure detection points.
* Available when an analog link is connected.
