To know which number value the Gain is currently set to, simply push the right Square button on the MoCo module for 1/2 second then release. You will hear a series of tones from the beeper that denote what value the gain is set. 1 beep = Gain Value 1, 2 beeps = Gain Value 2, 3 beeps = Gain value 3, and so on to 10. - Page 18 2. Verify the Gain value is set to 10 by pressing and releasing the right ‘Square’ button on the MoCo module and listening for the number of tones from the beeper. There will be 10 tones if the Gain value is set to 10.
