Configure
The Configure Menu allows you to configure specific aspects of
the appliance. Once selected, the LCD will display a PIN
request.
Note: The Default PIN is 76642. This number spells SONIC
on a phone keypad. The PIN number can be changed
from the System > Administration page.
All numbers are inputted using the 4 buttons. Select the
individual digit field using the Left and Right button and select
the desired number using the Up and Down Button. Digits
increase incrementally from 0 to 9. Press the Right button to
confirm your PIN and enter the Configuration Menu.
The appliance allows the user to navigate in and out of the
Configuration Menu without having to re-enter the PIN.
However, once the appliance enters Screen-Saver Mode,
whether from the 6 second time out or from pressing the Left
button from the Main Menu, the PIN number must be re-entered
again to access the Configuration Menu.
After entering a new value for a setting in the configuration
menu, you are asked if you want to commit changes. Using the
4-way D-pad, press the Right button for yes or the Left button
for no.
If you choose yes, the screen notifies you that the settings are
updated.
