Loading DVA's Onto the Vipedia-12

Loading DVA into multiple units simultaneously may cause connection errors.
Not all 68 DVAs need to be present on the Micro-SD card.

Selecting DVA Slots to be Loaded to

The erase option erases the DVAs on the target unit. It does not erase the DVA files on the MicroSD card.
If existing DVAs are erased, chimes are always generated at the end of the DVA loading operation:
- Standard chimes (Chime 1 to Chime 3) are automatically generated if custom chime files are not present on the Micro-SD card as follows:

-DVA_65.wav replaces the standard single-note chime

-DVA_66.wav replaces the standard two-note descending overlapping pattern chime

-DVA_67.wav replaces the standard three-note descending overlapping pattern chime

Custom Chime 4 is generated from DVA_68.wav chime file. If DVA_68.wav file is not present on the Micro-SD card, Chime 4 will not automatically be generated.
