Using the “Short Mute” Feature
If desired, you can briefly mute the audio for a recording that is already in progress.
To do so, hold the
Record
switch
down
(see illustration above). When you’re ready
to resume audio, simply release the switch.
Using the Emergency Button
If your agency has chosen to use the Emergency button feature,
pressing this button will automatically transmit an emergency
signal to the docking station’s emergency port (see also
“Docking Station Ports” on page 5). This port connects the
DVR to your agency radio, thus enabling you to secretly
transmit an emergency signal to your precinct.
VLP2 Battery Considerations
Your VLP2 comes with a rechargeable battery. To recharge the battery, first turn off
the Power switch at the base of the wireless mic, then place it in the docking station
or
indoor charger. If you are using the docking station, the vehicle must be
on
.
It can take several hours to fully charge a battery. Once a battery is fully charged, the
charge will last approximately 50 hours in
Stand-By
mode or 10 hours in
Record
mode.
For this reason, it is typically not necessary to use the in-car charger unless you need to
resync the VLP2.
Tips for battery maintenance and care:
When you’re on duty, only use the in-car charger to 1) resync the unit or 2)
charge the battery when the battery is low.
In order to use the in-car charger,
the DVR must be
on
.
When you’re not on duty, remove the VLP2 from the vehicle and place it in
the indoor charger
. Don’t leave the VLP2 in your vehicle or the battery will run
down. Also, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage the battery
and/or decrease its lifetime. The ambient temperature required for charging is
between -4° and 113°F.
WARNING
: Do not charge the battery outside the required range of -4° to 113° F.
Doing so could be hazardous and/or cause damage to the unit. Also, do not leave the
VLP2 charging in the vehicle unattended.
Replace the battery every 18 – 24 months
. All rechargeable batteries wear out
with time, usage, exposure to heat and cold, etc. We recommend that you replace
your battery
before
it wears out. There are two options for replacing the battery:
1) Have us do it—call
Service
at 1-800-336-8475 for a return authorization
number, or 2) Do it yourself—call
Sales
and submit an order for part number
MVD-VLP2-BAT. Once the new battery arrives, use a 1.5mm (metric) Allen
wrench to open the VLP2 case and replace the old battery.
Handle with care
. Take care not to drop or mishandle your VLP2, as this may
damage the battery and/or the unit itself.
