Description
VU Peek
Meter
Adjust the Microphone level so the VU Peek Meter sweeps full scale
on voice peeks. The VU Peek meter is color coded as follows:
Green: Level below peek
Yellow: One or more samples at or above peek.
Red: More than 5% of samples at or above peek.
The optimum level is obtained when the color is alternating between
green and yellow with normal voice. Reduce the level if red is easily
achieved; however, occasionally hitting red is satisfactory
Timeout
(seconds)
Sets the Live PA automatic timeout duration. You must have
Configuration or Global Administrator rights to change this setting.
NOTE
: Many radios have built-in timers that limit transmission time.
It is good practice to set the Timeout time equal to or less than the
radio’s built-in timer (if applicable).
