Location based mute

Part of group: Activate this function to add the transmitter to a mute group. If then one of the transmitters in this mute group is muted or unmuted, all other transmitters in the same mute group of the same location will also be muted and unmuted simultaneously. This allows you to create a separate mute group for each location.

Deactivated: The transmitter is not part of a mute group. Muting or unmuting does not affect other transmitters.

The most recently saved status is retained even after you reset the device or the audio settings to the factory defaults.
