Introduction  
These instructions contain the specifications and  
guidelines necessary to install, operate, and  
maintain the V-9908, Message/Page Panel.  
The V-9908 Message/Page Panel provides a  
handheld push-to-talk microphone for live pages and  
storage for eight messages. The V-9908 is  
compatible with all Valcom self-amplified speakers.  
The microphone, power and internal memory are  
monitored, with visual and audible indicators if any  
fault conditions are detected. When used with  
Valcom Supervised Distributed Amplified One-Way  
Paging Speakers and Horns, full system supervision  
including the speaker audio path is possible.

System Troubleshooting  
There are 4 LED’s located on the PC board for  
system troubleshooting. They are:  
LED D9 - Mic. Switch Fault  
Figure 2 shows remote message activate terminal  
connections, output connections, programming  
and power connections located on the back of the  
message panel.  
(ON = fault detected)  
LED D10 - DC Fault (low battery or  
internal monitoring System fault)  
(ON = fault detected)  
Figure 3 shows a typical connecting arrangement  
and other feature connections for a Fully  
Supervised system, including speaker wire run  
supervision. Fully supervised systems require a  
Valcom V-9999 End of Line terminator (not  
included). Refer to Figure 3 to connect the  
message active contact and remote activation of  
the messages. Using a RJ-45 connector, connect  
speaker audio (Tip and Ring) and speaker power  
to board mounted connector as shown on  
connecting diagram. (A remote mounted  
connecting block will be required to access these  
connections.) Referring to Figure 3, connect  
24VDC as indicated.  
LED D11 - Audio loop back fault  
(ON = Fault in Mic. audio or 30Hz  
amplifier loop back)  
LED D12 - Flash Memory Error  
(ON = Checksum failed)

When the V-9908 is not being used as shown in Figure 3, a V-1096 Audio Adapter must be  
utilized.  
1) Connect the audio output of the V-9908 to the audio input of the V-1096.  
2) Connect the audio output of the V-1096 to the audio input of the receiving system.  
Examples of receiving systems include a tip/ring telephone input on a Valcom Page  
Control, the tip/ring audio input of one or more Valcom Self Amplified Speakers, a line  
level music or auxiliary input on a Valcom page control, IP Audio gateway or amplifier, or  
a lo-z microphone input. In the case of a lo-z microphone input, such as that found on  
Valcom MultiPath or Class Connection systems, all of the shorting jumpers must be  
moved from the default positions shown above.  
3) If the audio input of the receiving system requires a “loop start” connection, then connect  
the message play contacts of the V-9908 to the Contact Closure input of the V-1096.  
4) If the audio input of the receiving system requires an activation closure, then connect the  
message play contacts of the V-9908 to the activation input of the receiving system.
