    GENERAL INFORMATION Midian’s VM-3 is a voice storage speaker microphone for use in two-way radios. The VM-3 can record approximately 3 minutes of voice messages. Recording of voice messages occurs when the unit detects VOX. A button on the radio can then be used to play back what was recorded.

  • Page 10 Tones > Beep Volume: Adjust the slider for the desired beep volume. This level is expressed as a percentage of max voice audio level. Playback Level: This sets the volume level of the recorded voice to the radio’s speaker. Transmit Level: Not used in this product.
  • Page 11 See the next page for instructions on the Voice Audio Levels.
  • Page 12 AUDIO LEVELS ALIGNMENT This section describes how to determine and set the audio levels. The procedures below can be used to approximate the response of the internal microphone. These measurements must be taken within 15 seconds of powering the unit on. This is because the unit may enter power saving mode after that time.
  • Page 13: Operation

    OPERATION The SM1 has three buttons; PTT, Button 1 and Button 2. The PTT button is the larger oblong button, Button 1 is the top round button with one nub and Button 2 is the bottom round button with two nubs. PTT Button: The PTT button is used to send a PTT command to the radio to cause the radio to transmit, as well as send the ANI, Emergency ANI and recorded voice messages.
