LED color indicates status of each of the ten zone presets.

Green indicates the zone is available and not in use by another station.

Press any Zone Preset button to select. The LED will blink confirming the selection.

At power-up, the unit defaults to zone one.

Aux Mic input (5-pin) on the back panel is programmed for zone preset one.

For direct zone preset access, the key pad can be used. Simply enter a one or two digit number, then press # to select.

The selected zone name (user nameable up to 16 characters within the PageMatrix software) will be displayed on the 20 x 2 LCD in addition to status (ready/busy/paging)

The upper line of the display provides the station name and status. The second line provides the zone name.

Zone presets can be labeled in the appropriate white boxes.

If all LEDs flash red at power up, this indicates the station has not been programmed.

If all LEDs flash green at power up, this indicates the station has been programmed.

At power-up, the unit defaults to zone one and after one minute of inactivity reverts back to zone one.

MediaMatrix defines the zones which can represent single outputs or groups of outputs. PageMatrix software is used to program the button assignments on the paging stations which enables them to access one or more zones per button. We refer to the button assignments as zone presets, because these settings are set initially then downloaded to the PageMatrix controller where they become active.

With PageMatrix, there are no inherent priority settings. Any microphone may be used at any time and the ÒbusyÓ LED indication identifies when a zone preset is in use by another station. However, extensive priority levels can be configured and designed within MediaMatrix.
