Numerical Entry Method:
You can also directly access any sound by direct numerical entry on the
keypad. For example, if you want to play sound 005, simply press the numbers
0, 0, and 5 sequentially on the keypad.
5.5 SETTING THE VOLUME
When the TX-500 is first turned on, the volume setting is preset to 00, as the
display will indicate. Once you have selected and transmitted your sound to the
SNOW-CROW PRO 2, simply depress the volume up button on the transmitter
to your desired level.
Depressing the volume buttons will cause the volume number to change in the
display from a low of “0” to a high of “40”. These changes are transmitted to
the SNOW-CROW PRO 2 in real time, causing the volume to ramp up or down.
The TX-500 allows you to change the volume step size to a specific level. By
default, the ramp speed will be set to 2. This means that every time you press
the volume up or down button, the volume level will increment or decrement by
2. You can change this value to 2, 4, 5, 8, or 10. To set this value:
NOTE: If you have volume steps 2 or 4 selected, you will notice that when
stepping the volume up or down using a continuous key-press, the
volume steps will gradually increase to 5.
1. Press and hold the rotary selector knob to access the main menu.
2. Highlight the “TX500 CONFIG” menu and depress the rotary selector
knob one time.
3. Use the selector knob highlight “VOLUME STEPS” and then depress
the selector knob one time.
4. Use the selector knob to highlight the desired volume stepping value
and then depress the selector knob to lock it in.
5. Exit the menus.
The volume numbers are important, as you will begin to identify your preferred
volume settings, and with the SNOW-CROW PRO 2 placed away from you, it
gives you the ability to know exactly at what volume the SNOW-CROW PRO 2
is playing. Without this, you may have a difficult time determining just how loud
or soft your unit is playing.
5.6 MUTE
To mute the current sound that is playing, simply depress the mute button on
the TX-500 transmitter. Mute mode is indicated by an “M” appearing in the
bottom status line. To un-mute, simply depress the mute button again.
The mute feature also serves as a pause function. When you mute the current
sound being played and un-mute again, the sound will begin playing at the
