After turning power ON, the LCD will show a start-up message for three seconds (see Fig. 11).

During this time, the VEEMUX retrieves its switch settings from memory (the startup configuration is retrieved from stored configuration 0). Pressing any buttons during this time will have no effect. After 3 seconds, the switch will function normally and display the current configuration of connections. By default, the display will show all connections between Inputs and Outputs, displaying 8 at a time from the first to the last. Each set of 8 connections will display for 2 seconds, and the cycle will repeat indefinitely every 4 seconds.
