The first frequency to display is 75.25. The system scrolls through each frequency until it reaches the last, 103.75, and then scrolls back to the beginning. This diagnostic scrolls through the OOB frequencies in the following order:

!75.25 MHz

!104.20 MHz

!72.75 MHz

!92.25 MHz

On the OSD the MANUAL FREQ line of text clears, the HUNT MODE displays FIX to indicate the fixed frequency search, and the CUR FREQ field changes to the frequency selected to search.

If the frequency is found with the proper EMM Provider ID, the OSD LKC field changes to display the new frequency.

If after 40 seconds the frequency search is not successful, the set-top performs a warm reset and returns to the last known carrier frequency.

4To abort a search without waiting the 40 seconds, press POWER to cause a warm reset.
