VLX Wireless Microphone

The VoiceLink eXtended wireless microphone or "VLX"
is used to initiate a recording while you are outside
your vehicle. If there are two officers sharing one
vehicle, you may wish to purchase a second VLX.
The DVR supports up to two units.
The VLX comes with a docking station that has
an antenna attached to it. The antenna is used to
communicate with the DVR. In order for the device
to operate, the VLX must be synchronized with the
docking station.
To remove the wireless mic from the docking
station, simply tilt it forward, then lift up.

secutive times. The Signal LED will
also flash red until the VLX is back
in range.

Keep the Power switch in the 'On' position
when using. It's recommended that you leave the
VLX power switch on for the duration of your shift,
as pictured right. This switch is located at the base of
the mic.

Avoid metal barriers between the wireless mic
and the docking station. The wireless mic uses a
"line of sight" signal. Physical barriers, particularly
