alternating between the currently selected Preset and "Prg IR".
If you switched from "ON" to "MUTE/PRG":
The microphone is muted and the status LED (20) will change from green to red. The infrared
receiver section is OFF. Since the RF section continues transmitting the carrier frequency, no
unwanted noises will become audible form the sound system.
The display alternates between the currently selected Preset and the remaining battery capacity in
hours.
2. To switch the microphone back on, set the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF switch (19) to "ON".
