DETECT takes an inventory of the receiver 
modules installed in the mainframe and 
displays the results in an on-screen table. 
SMART TUNE is an automatic process that 
scans the tuning range of all modules and 
automatically finds clear frequencies. The 
screen prompts the operator to set up 
transmitters one at a time to the newly discovered 
frequencies and turn them on before proceeding.
SPECTRUM SCAN launches a manual 
scanning procedure where each receiver 
module is scanned one at a time, with the 
results presented in a graphical display.
LOCK PANEL prevents changes from 
being made with the front panel controls. 
BACK LIGHT adjusts the brightness of the 
LCD. Four different levels are available. 
ANTENNA POWER turns the DC bias 
power on the antenna inputs off and on. 
The DC bias is used to power remote 
amplifiers used at the antenna end of long 
coaxial cable runs.
NETWORK SETUP provides screens to 
define the parameters for network protocol 
and connections. 
RS232 SETUP provides a screen where 
the baud rate can be set from 9600 to 
115200. 
COMMAND VIEW opens a screen that 
displays the commands received from a 
remote control device or computer and the 
replies sent back by the receiver.
SYSTEM INFO displays the receiver serial 
number, hardware and firmware revisions, 
and the active alerts. Active alerts shown 
on this screen are error messages that list 
the details of faults in the receiver. When a fault occurs, 
the white LED on the right side of the front panel will 
blink, prompting the operator to view this screen.
TX MENU
NOTE: Some items in this menu work only with 
Lectrosonics transmitters.
TOP MENU links back to the Top Menu for 
overall system setup. 
SETTINGS is used to get settings from and 
send settings to a Lectrosonics transmitter 
on each channel. The LCD shows a listing 
of the frequency and nine configuration 
settings on a single screen.
NOTE: The transmitter settings can be made in 
the receiver and then transferred via IR (infrared) 
to the transmitter if it is so equipped. Later model 
Lectrosonics transmitters offer this feature.
TX BATTERY selects the battery type used 
in each transmitter. 
TX AUDIO GAIN adjusts the input gain of 
each channel to match the microphone or 
instrument level delivered to the transmitter 
to optimize the signal to noise ratio and 
minimize distortion.
