Notes
• When the six-split window is displayed, the System detects the terminal including the
loudest sound among all the terminals and the picture of that terminal is replaced with
the picture in the lower right window.
• If you switch the broadcast mode from Split mode to Voice Activate mode in which
a picture of a specified terminal is shown in full screen during communication, the
location of Pictures A to E will be changed when the Split mode is restored.
• When your system is in the Split or Split (Fixed) mode, you cannot control the camera
on any connected remote terminals.
