The volume knob
The VOLUME KNOB controls the volume of any selected source. The volume knob controls the sound being sent to the ceiling speakers throughout the classrooms. In some smaller classrooms, study rooms, or conference rooms, this volume knob controls the sound being sent to the flat panel display's internal speakers. The illuminated LEDs beside the knob are an approximate estimation of the volume level. Keep turning the knob RIGHT until it is loud enough, even if the LEDs are indicating RED. Keep turning the knob LEFT until it is quiet enough for the audience, no matter how many LEDs are illuminated. When changing sources, you may need to readjust the volume, since one source may have a different default volume level than another.
