Configuring Record/Stop and Warning Bells

The mixer provides audible alerts called the Record/Stop and Warning bells.
The start of a recording is indicated audibly by a single 440 Hz tone sent to the
sound mixer's headphones. When recording is stopped two 220 Hz tones are
sent. Likewise, warning bells alert users with an audible tone when the mixer
has encountered an error, such as low power.
The default decibel level for these bells is -30 dBFS, but that level may be
changed in 1 dB increments from -60 to -12 dbFS, or turned off entirely.
To set the warning bell level:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to select SYSTEM > Warning Bell
Level.
3. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to set a new level. Options include:
Off, -60 to -12 dbFS in 1 dB increments.
Setting the warning bell level also adjusts the level used for Record/Stop bells.

By default, the Record/Stop bells are turned on, but they may be turned off.
