Operation
Once a program, like the example in the appendix, is loaded, your TX–
MLCD provides complete menu selection of up to 12 control menus with up
to 6 functions each. Menu selections allow you to control a wide range of
devices with RF or IR signals according to your needs.
• RF or IR selection—The o perating mode is determined at the time the
equipment order is placed. RF or IR capability is factory installed in
the unit at the time of assembly.
• Turn the TX–MLCD on—Press any button to activate the menu
screen. The last selected menu will appear first. Press the desired
menu selection button for the menu you want.
• Time out—A power saving feature. If no function key activity occurs
for approximately 2 minutes, the screen will go dark. Press any key to
return to the last selected menu.
• Control Function Menus—Press one of the 12 menu selection keys to
activate a menu of six control functions.
Press one of the 6 circles to activate the corresponding function next to the
dots above and below the display. Figure 2 shows a sample TX-MLCD with
