The exact text appearing on the top line and the presence of the clock display will depend
on how the remote was configured when it was initially programmed from a PC. The VU
meter will appear as solid “block” characters whenever there is audio present and extend
from left to right in bar graph fashion, starting at the left end of the second line.
Volume Setting
The volume of the receive or intercom audio coming from the local speaker built into the
deskset is controlled with the knob next to the LCD display. When you lift the handset and
the receive audio is transferred there, the knob still controls the audio level. If the internal
speaker is disabled because the remote has been interfaced to an external speaker or
headset, the knob will control the receive audio level to the external device as well.
In-Use Screens

The currently selected frequency (F1-F8) will be displayed on the top row as programmed.

programmed into it for the current channel. The label can be up to 16 characters in length
(the full width of the top line).
On the bottom line, the current time of day will be displayed on the right end if the clock
option is enabled. The time of day and whether it is displayed in a 12- or 24-hour format
can be set from the keypad Setup mode (explained in Section 4). The bar graph shown at
the left end of the bottom line is typical of what the VU meter would show while receiving
or transmitting a message.
