2. Before Use
The VM04 employs a memory back up battery
inside the unit. When you have newly purchased
the unit, you will find a piece of insulation paper
attached to avoid voltage dissipation in transit.
So, when you start using the unit for the first time,
turn ON the power and then remove the insulation
paper in that order.
2-1. Remove the insulation paper
2-2. Caution when powering ON
As the VM04 does not have a power switch,
switching the power ON is done by connecting
the AC adaptor. So, keep the input volume at 0 on
the monitor amp or power it OFF when you plug
in the AC adaptor in order to avoid damaging
any connected equipment such as loud speakers.
2-3. Reset
The internal CPU may crash very occasionally due
to the powering ON/OFF timing or some electro-
magnetic noise such as thunder and lightning. IF
the unit does not power up properly even after
several attempts to power ON, press the RESET
SW to reset the CPU. If you want to clear all the
Scenes stored in the past, you can use the same
method here. All the memories and Setup contents
will return to the factory default setting by
pressing the SW.
2-4. Internal battery for the memory back up
The internal battery has a life expectancy of about
two years. When the battery runs out and its
voltage falls below a certain level, the warning
message “BattEmpty” will appear on the display.
You need to replace the battery. If you carry on
using the unit without a new battery, your stored
memories will be lost when powering OFF. Please
ask your Fostex distributor or an authorized
service station. Do not open the unit yourself as
there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
<Useful info>
The VM04 employs an internal battery voltage display function. See Item10 The other mode (page 26) for more details.
