PROGRAMMING CAPABILITY
You can program individual WMVC 100 and WMVC 100E Muting Volume Controls attached to an MVC HUB4, allowing certain locations (such as the guest bedroom and porch) to remain muted when system activation turns on other locations (such as the kitchen and family room).
To program a WMVC 100 or WMVC 100E for automatic muting or unmuting, press and hold the mute button for 10 seconds. An LED blinks to indicate that programming has occurred.
The WMVC 100 and WMVC 100E come from the factory pre- programmed in the automatic mute mode.
