Section 3 Operation/Adjustments
3.9.3.1.1 System Configuration
This screen is used to configure the transmitter to operate with either a 3 port patch
panel or a motorized RF switch. To change this setting touch the white text box and the
Output Switch pop up widow will appear (as shown in Figure 3-23). There are only 2
choices, “Manual” for the manual patch panel or “Motor” for a motorized switch.
Selecting Motor activates the XMTR TO ANTENNA button in the Output Control
section of the Output screen in Figure 3-12 on page 3-15.

3.9.3.1.2 Control Setup
To set any of the parameters on this screen, simply touch inside the text box and a pop-
up menu will appear with the appropriate information (number pad or keyboard).
This screen allows the user to set the Date and Time which will be used for reporting
and for the fault log. The real time clock is backed up by a battery on the Main
Controller to prevent having a reset due to a power outage.
It also allows for adjustment of the Contrast of the GUI LCD display. The display
contrast will adjust dynamically as the number is changed to allow for room lighting. A
setting in the mid 80’s is normal.
The Screen Saver setting allows the user to select how long it will take for the screen to
blank out due to inactivity.
Password: The last box allows a password to be entered. The password protects against
unwanted entry to the transmitter configuration and setup screens, basically any screen
