7.4 Mute Enable Button
The dynamic function buttons to the immediate left and right of the LCD are used as MUTE buttons only
when the MUTE ENABLE button is activated (flashing).
When MUTE ENABLE is activated, the two central buttons on the left act as Module mute controls, and the
four buttons on the right enable muting/unmuting of the power output channels.
In Meter Mode > Home View with MUTE ENABLE activated, text on the LCD adjacent to each button
indicates when a Module input or power output has been muted. Meter Mode must be selected for
MUTE ENABLE to be activated; MUTE ENABLE is not available in Menu Mode.
To exit MUTE ENABLE mode, press the flashing MUTE ENABLE button. If no mute activity occurs for two
minutes, MUTE ENABLE mode will automatically be disabled.
