PAGE MODE VOLUME

The paging volume level for the selected zones is adjustable. Paging level must be set on each slave as well as the master. Since the paging volume level will be the same for all zones connected to that chassis, we suggest setting a comfortable level in the room that will be used most frequently, or in the smallest room. While in the confi guration mode (see above), press the Set button until [PAGE MODE VOLUME = XX] shows in

the display.
