The wireless speaker can be field programmed for a variety of features. Refer to 

Table 5

 for the two digit codes 

available for field programming.  In our example we will program an LM-U450 for Record and Play operation.  The 
Loudmouth

 is set from the factory with these 

   options 

enabled.

radio will beep rapidly. 

3. Release

button until the program 

display shows the desired number.

hyphen across the center of the display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit. 

6.  Enter the 2

nd

 digit of the feature code by clicking the 

PROGRAM

 

button until the program 

display shows the desired number. 

Pause

—the radio sounds a low tone and will show a 

hyphen across the center of the display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit. 

7.  Press and release the 

ENTER

 button to save your programming. A triple beep will sound to 

indicate that programming was successful and a hyphen will appear on the program 
display.  The radio is now ready for another program entry. 

 

NOTE:  An error tone will sound if you attempt to save an incorrect code, an "E" will appear 
on the display.  Check the digits you are attempting to enter, then re-enter.   

8.  Once you have made your final program entry, press the 

ENTER

 button a final time to exit 

programming mode.  The Program display will be blank and the radio will be ready for use.
