2. Move the joystick to select the Command Lock menu.
3. Press the FOCUS or the IRIS button to turn Command Lock to OFF.

menu.

The on-screen display menu confirms that the VG4 AutoDome stored the FastAddress

4.1.3 Pelco Keyboard Commands
Pelco control commands are composed of a sequence of two (2) keyboard inputs with the
following convention: 1) a Command Number and 2) a Function key input.
The AutoDome uses the PRESET command key to save and recall presets (pre-positions) 1
through 99.
i
NOTICE! A previously configured AutoDome with an address above 32 (Pelco-P upper limit) or
254 (Pelco-D upper limit) can be used without readdressing the unit. However, no two (2)
addresses can be the same. For example:
Pelco-P addresses above 32 are repeated in multiples of 32 (1, 33, 65, 97 are the same).
Pelco-D addresses above 254 are repeated in multiples of 254 (1, 255, 509, 763 are the
same).
i
NOTICE! To save a preset, enter the desired number and hold the PRESET key for
approximately two (2) seconds. To recall a preset, enter the desired preset number (or
command) and momentarily press and release the PRESET key.
