# Default Voice Mode Channel Status Messages

If you wish to clear a Voice Mode message to default on the Catalyst:

- Enter the appropriate message code followed by * *.
- To reset Message 1 to default, use Keycode 1 Z * *.

Follow the guidelines in the topic "The Actual Recording Process". Z is the channel number of the message you wish to reset. In the Catalyst Memory Allocation Tool there is a utility for restoring the corresponding message to default at the planning level.

Example:

If you want to clear Message 2 for Channel 5, you would use Keycode 2 5 * *.

Default Voice Mode channel status messages depend upon whether the channel is:

- Analog data type -- having a continuous range of possible values
- Discrete data type -- having only two possible values, 0 and 1

Channel Data Type | Default Message 1 | Default Message 2
--- | --- | ---
ANALOG | Channel N reading is | (none)
DISCRETE | Channel N no violation | Channel N violation
