CHANGING PROGRAM SOURCES OR LOCAL:

REMEMBERING SETTINGS / POWERING UP AND DOWN:

BUSY SIGNAL:

The output level is controlled by a digital up/down switch arrangement. There are 32 levels
from off to maximum in a non linear audio configuration. The master LED’s indicate this
volume setting but because there are only 8 LED’s, a change to the volume (pressing up or
down) may not show a change in the LED’s. The level must step 4 times before the LED
indication changes.

The program sources can only be selected one at a time or turned off with the program off
button. However local is not affected and is controlled by toggling either on or off.

The DigiPage is designed to remember it's last setting when powering down. Due to the
nature of memory storage, the unit should be left on for at least 15 seconds after a change is
made to allow the unit to store the changes. The unit should also be allowed to stand for 15
seconds before turning back on to allow all voltages to discharge. This is not required if
cycling the mains to clear a lockup but only to ensure that changes are stored.

When a zone is busy, the volume control and program source selection becomes inactive.
Changes cannot be made while the zone is busy. A zone is made busy when a peripheral
device is accessing the zone. This can be in two forms:
1/ When someone is paging to the zone. The busy led will then glow steady.
2/ When someone is making changes using the remote wall panel. The busy led will then blink
rapidly.

NOTE:

The LED’s are an indication of master volume setting and not an

indication of signal level or presence.

NOTE: The paging stations for the DigiPageJr are different to the DigiPage and

connot be mixed. The same applies to DPRM’s which cannot be used
with the DigiPageJr.
