User guide

Once programmed with a presentation, the VM4HD will operate
unassisted. When power is applied, the presentation will
automatically start. When power is removed, the presentation stored
in flash memory is safe.
If the VM4HD is playing a presentation, it should be paused before
removing the memory device. Failure to do so could result in system
errors. To pause the current presentation, press the button on
the front panel and wait for the Pause LED to turn on.
