electronics equipment prior to making any connections to or from the
COM2. Set the Power Switch on the back of the COM2 to the OFF

The following section describes connections to the COM2 Communications Controller.
COM2 to VMO or VSO Volume Controls
When connecting rotary Volume Controls with Override to the COM2, simply connect “+” from
the COM2's VCO connector to “VC+” of the Volume Control. Connect “-” from the COM2's
VCO connector to “VC-” of the Volume Control. Cat-5 is typically used for this purpose.
