Channel/Zone Selection Options
The BKR5000 can be programmed with up to 8192 individual channels.
These channels can be divided into zones of one or more channels.
Accessing a channel or zone depends on radio programming.
Channels or zones can be selected using the channel/zone select knob,
by an assigned button or menu item or by direct keypad entry. More
than one selection mode can be programmed.
Channel/Zone Selector Knob
When programmed with the default setting, the channel/zone knob is
used to select a channel (1-16) from the active zone. If programmed to
select zones, zones (1-16) will be selected with the knob.
Channels or zones above sixteen can only be accessed via button,
menu or keypad selection. See below.
Button/Menu Item Selection
If programmed to a button, pressing the button
will display the list of available channels or
zones. If programmed as a menu item, the lists
can be displayed by selecting Zone or Channel
select from the menu list. (See “Keypad Menu
Operation”)
Use the PREV and NEXT buttons to scroll to the
desired selection.
Alternatively, the number keys can be used to
jump directly to the desired channel or zone.
Press the button marked ENTER to go to the
highlighted zone or channel.
Direct Keypad Entry
The numeric keypad may also be programmed to directly select channels
or zones. Pressing a number will activate the zone or channel list.
Select the desired channel or zone and press the
button marked ENTER or the center navigation
button to go to the highlighted location.
Press the button marked ESCAPE to cancel the
selection and return to the currently operating
zone or channel.
