To change the microphone input gain, scroll to the Mic
icon and press Enter. Use the Scroll Wheel and Enter
button to make a selection. Use the Cancel button to exit
from a selection or screen. The default setting (16dB)
may be sufficient for most applications. Increased gain
helps compensate for soft or distant talkers, but may
result in amplified background noise and/or distortion of
louder signals. Use software Meters to monitor levels.

move selected soft-buttons. Use the Cancel button to
exit from a selection or screen. Soft button names may
be customized during software programming.

If a Lock Code has been assigned to the unit (and the
unit is connected to a functional AudiaFLEX system) it
may be locked during setup. To lock a unit during setup,
scroll to the Lock icon and press Enter (select 'Yes' to
lock or 'No' to return to setup). To unlock the unit, use
the Scroll Wheel and Enter button to enter the Lock
Code. The unit will return to normal operation.

(soft-button) is selected by simply scrolling over it before
pressing Push-To-Talk. Multiple routing schemes may
be selected, using the Scroll Wheel and Enter button.
Multiple selections, indicated by check marks, are all
applied when Push-To-Talk is pressed, and will be
cleared when paging ends. The quantity of selected and
available zones is indicated at the bottom of the LCD.

This is followed by a prompt for the user to begin talking.
Also indicated are the quantity of selected and available
paging zones, as well as the time remaining before Page
Timeout (if a Timeout period has been specified).
