Muting an Audio Recording
If desired, you can mute the audio for a recording that is already in progress. To do
so, hold the Record switch down for at least one second. The unit will vibrate once
*
and the mute LED will flash red, indicating that mute is enabled. When you’re ready
to resume audio, repeat the procedure. The unit will vibrate twice
**
and the Mute
LED will stop flashing, indicating that the audio has resumed.
VLX Battery Considerations
Your VLX comes with a rechargeable battery. To recharge the battery, first turn off
the Power switch at the base of the wireless mic, then place it in the docking station
or indoor charger. If you are using the docking station, the vehicle must be on and the
temperature in the car must be between 32° F and 112° F.
It takes up to 2.5 hours to fully charge a battery. Once a battery is fully charged, the
charge will last approximately five days in Stand-By mode or 24 hours in Record mode.
For this reason, it is typically not necessary to use the in-car charger unless you need to
resync the VLX.
Tips for battery maintenance and care:
 When you’re on duty, only use the in-car charger to 1) resync the unit or 2)
charge the battery when the battery LED is solid red (battery low). In order
to use the in-car charger, the DVR must be on.
 When you’re not on duty, remove the VLX from the vehicle and place it in
the indoor charger. Don’t leave the VLX in your vehicle or the battery will run
down. Also, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage the battery
and/or decrease its lifetime. The ambient temperature required for charging is
between 32° F to 112° F.
WARNING: Do not charge the battery outside the required range of 32° F to 112° F.
Doing so could be hazardous and/or cause damage to the unit. Also, do not leave the
VLX charging in the vehicle unattended.
 Replace the battery every 18 months. All rechargeable batteries wear out with
time, usage, exposure to heat and cold, etc. We recommend that you replace your
battery before it wears out. There are two options for replacing the battery:
1) Have us do it—call Service at 1-800-336-8475 for a return authorization
number, or 2) Do it yourself—call Sales and submit an order for part number
MVD-VLX-BAT. Once the new battery arrives, remove the clip on the back of
the unit and slide the battery door down.
 Handle with care. Take care not to drop or mishandle your VLX, as this may
damage the battery and/or the unit itself.
