Lectrosonics VR Field (Wideband) - Manual (Page 10)

VR Field Wideband Receiver
LECTROSONICS, INC. 10
Initial Startup
When the Venue receiver is first powered up the LCD
will show the firmware revision and the tuning range of
the host assembly. The wideband version of the VRM
covers the entire 230 MHz bandwidth of frequency
blocks 21 through 29.
As the boot sequence continues, the display will switch
to an overview of all six receiver channels. In this ex-
ample, six receiver modules are installed but no trans-
mitters are turned on. In this case the “P” will be blinking
since no pilot tone is detected.
The wideband Venue receiver is different than the 50
MHz version in that the receiver modules are detected
through a manual process rather than automatically at
boot up. Press the MENU/SELECT control and rotate it
to select “Detect” on the menu.
Press the MENU/SELECT control to launch the detec-
tion process.
It takes about 45 seconds to detect all the modules and
update the memory in the host assembly. Once com-
pleted, the LCD will briefly display the results showing
the frequencies of the installed modules.
If a slot is not occupied by a module, the display will
place an “X” in that position.
The display then switches to the overview of all six
channels.
Any slot that is not occupied by a module will leave a
blank space in the overview display.
If a module in any position has been removed, changed
or added since the last use, the LCD will flash a mes-
sage advising that the Detect process needs to be run
again.
In normal operation with all six channels running, the
overview display will include:
• Audio level
• RF level
• Diversity antenna phase activity
• Pilot tone status
• Transmitter battery status

configuration options.
To power off the unit, press and hold the red power
switch for several seconds. The LCD will display a mes-
sage briefly then power down.
