Table 1: V-Series Panels covered by this guide.
4.1 Mic On
The Mic On/Off button turns the currently selected microphone (gooseneck microphone or
headset microphone) on or off.

When you press and hold the Shift Page button for more than 500ms, the panel is placed in
Shift Page mode. The Shift Page menu is shown on the display and the red indicator LED
is lit.

1 - 10 character name to better identify the use of the page. See EHX user guide for
information on the naming of shift pages.

Note:
Access to some panel menus can be disabled in ECS (Eclipse Configuration Software) /
EHX (Eclipse HX configuration software) through Advanced Settings > Menu Options in
Cards and Ports. A PIN code (set in the configuration software) must be entered to disable
access to these menus. When the PIN code is entered on the panel, access is granted. For
more information, see your ECS / EHX documentation.
4.5 LS Main levels (volume) control
The main levels (volume) control comprises a rotary encoder with push-switch action and
a tri-color loudspeaker volume indicator LED.
The LED volume indications are:
• Red - high volume.
• Amber - intermediate volume.
• Green - low volume.

decrease loudspeaker volume.
The loudspeaker cut indicator LED is lit red when the loudspeaker output is muted. Press
the volume control to toggle the loudspeaker cut.

action and a tri-color loudspeaker volume indicator LED. The LED volume indications are:
• Red - high volume.
• Amber - intermediate volume.
• Green - low volume.
The auxiliary levels (volume) control sets the volume on the optional external loudspeaker
that you can connect to the auxiliary audio port on the rear of the panel. Turn the volume
control clockwise to increase the loudspeaker volume and anticlockwise to decrease
loudspeaker volume.

4.7 Listen Again
Note:
The Listen Again feature is configured in ECS / EHX. For more information, see your ECS /
EHX documentation.
Pressing the auxiliary volume control switch momentarily activates the
Listen Again feature. The last stored audio will be replayed (this feature
is configured in ECS / EHX).
Repeatedly pressing the auxiliary volume control will step back through the stored
messages.
4.8 Up / Down buttons on lever key and pushbutton panels
There is a pair of buttons to adjust the volume level on the connection beneath each key
display window on lever key and pushbutton panels (see
window controls
and Figure 17: Pushbutton key display window controls).
Use the left (Down) button to reduce the volume and the right (Up) button to increase the
volume.
You can also use the volume buttons to release a telephone line, in the same way as the
TEL RELEASE function in the diagnostic menu.
To release the telephone line, press both of the Up and Down buttons together.
The label display changes to TEL RELEAS, and the telephone is put back on the hook. All
latched keys on the local system are unlatched, killing all routes to the telephone. After
approximately 5 seconds, the display starts displaying the configured label again.
If the panel does not have Remote Line Release configured, then the call signal is sent to
the label instead.
Note:
The volume buttons are also used to adjust some settings that are accessed through the
panel menu, such as Sidetone Gain.

4.9 Alternative text key
Within the EHX software, you can define alternate text for display on a panel. You can then assign an
Alt Text key on the panel
When selected it will turn red, and inverse video and i f al t ernat e t ext is available for that label the
panel will show this.
Alias, VSM and PM text labels will override whichever state the panel is in.
One possible use of alternate text is to set up a dual language configuration on the panel, for example
to allow panels to display Arabic by default in a parti cular Middle Eastern broadcast installation.
English speakers could then select the Alt Text key on a panel to see the English equivalents to the
Arabic labels.

V-Series Panels User Guide
Another use could be that both the role name and user name could be configured for each panel or
beltpack port. This would allow panel users to see either the name or the role depending on the Alt
Text mode selected.
You can enter alternate text on all the entity screens. The column with the text can be shown or
hidden from EHX using the button in the Port List opt i ons.
4.10 Rotary control on rotary panels
The rotary control located next to the key window display on rotary panels is used to adjust
the volume on the connection. Turn the rotary control clockwise to increase the volume and
anticlockwise to decrease the volume.
Holding the talk key and turning the rotary adjusts the IFB send level.
You can also use the rotary control to release a telephone line, in the same way as the TEL
RELEASE function in the diagnostic menu.
To release the telephone line, press and hold the rotary control.
The label display changes to TEL RELEAS, and the telephone is put back on the hook. All
latched keys on the local system are unlatched, killing all routes to the telephone. After
approximately 5 seconds, the display starts displaying the configured label again.
If the panel does not have Remote Line Release configured, then the call signal is sent to
the label instead.
Note:
The rotary control is also used to adjust some settings that are accessed through the panel
menu, such as Sidetone Gain, and scrolling through lists.
