1.5.4 VR100 Front Panel
The VR100 receiver’s front panel allows the VR100 to be configured, allows deployed tags to be monitored,
and allows two-way acoustic communication with transponding receivers like the VR2AR – including
sending the release command. The panel uses soft press keys for all its data entry and controls, increasing the
receiver’s ability to operate in a moist environment. The soft buttons are easy to wipe clean but still give the
user a “click” that can be both heard and felt to verify the button has been pressed. The different aspects of
the VR100 front panel are identified in the photo below with brief explanations in the following sections.

Never remove the VR100’s front panel. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the
front panel will void your warranty.
