Weather Radio User Manual

Using the Front Panel

The front panel LCD screen displays a series of menus that can be used to

configure and control the system. The name of the current menu is always in the

upper left corner of the screen for easy identification.

• Beneath every menu name are symbols representing key presses that are

possible from the current cursor position in the menu. Note that the available

keypad moves may change during the navigation between menu fields.

• The top row, to the right of the menu name, displays the name of each field

available within that menu. These are called field labels and its setting is

displayed directly below.

• Beneath each label is the current setting for each field.

• Some fields may be changed by the user and others are for display purposes

only. Fields that can be changed have an arrow indicator ( ) just to the left of

the field label. During left/right navigation, the cursor skips over the labels that

cannot be changed.

In addition to the menus on the LCD screen, the LED indicators show the decoder’s

current status. The Signal LED is lit when the decoder recognizes a valid carrier

signal. The authorized LED is lit when the DigiCipher II signal LED is lit and

either (1) the programmer has transmitted the access messages to allow the decoder

to decrypt the signal, or (2) the signal is unencrypted or fixed key.

If the IRD is in an alarm condition, the Alarm LED is lit.
