If the characters on the LCD are dim or not readable, please follow the method of LCD contrast and back-
lighting adjustment described in S.5-1.
In this position (called "OFF LINE" hereafter) only the micro-controller is operational, while the amplifier itself
is still turned off (the tube is not powered at all).
The control of the amplifier is accessible during "OFF LINE" and "ON LINE" states, each having several
information screens and control functions (see Fig.3-2):

Fig.3-2 Information Screens and Control Functions Structure
Use the OPER button to alternatively change between operate and standby modes (S.4-2) during "ON LINE".
Please note that Auto-Operate might be enabled (see S.4-2). The same button activates signature list while "OFF
LINE".
The PREV and NEXT buttons change information screens or select control functions (S.4-4) for both "OFF
LINE" and "ON LINE".
The ON/OFF button alternatively switches OFF and "ON LINE".
You can proceed in one of two directions:
a) You can use the "OFF LINE" information screens and control functions. They refer to the auto-protection
signatures list, LCD contrast and back-lighting control, as well as the Auto-Operate feature. This is described
in S5.
b) You can turn on the amplifier and begin the warm-up sequence. After 2.5 minutes you may tune and start
operating the amplifier and you can use the "ON LINE" information screens or control functions (see below).
4. OPERATION
Operation of the amplifier is simplified due to the TRI tuning aid, Auto-Operate function, and automatic
protection system, so you'll be able to begin using it immediately after the installation. However, to make full
use of amplifier's potential and to fully configure it to your local conditions, we recommend that you thoroughly
read the following information.
