4.4.1Assigning menus to function keys

To assign a menu to a function key:

1)Use cursor keys and the SELECT key until you see the menu you want to assign to a function key.

2)Press the PRESET key [21]:

F u n c t i o n P r e s e t

P u s h F u n c t i o n

K e y

S h u t t l e M o n i t o r

 

 

 

The “Shuttle Monitor” screen is an example only. The current menu title will be displayed on the bottom line of the display.

3)Press the function key to which you wish to assign the menu.

To use the second “bank” of function keys, press and hold down the SHIFT key [23] before pressing the function key.

4.4.2Recalling menus using the function keys

1)Simply press the function key where you have previously assigned the menu you want to recall.

If you have not assigned a menu to the function key that you press, the display will remain unchanged.

2)If you used the SHIFT key [23] to assign the menu to F11 through F20, press and hold down the SHIFT key before pressing the function key to recall the “shifted” menu.

4.5Storing and recalling user setups

The RC-898 allows you to store and recall almost all parameters set using the menu system, so the same remote control unit can be used with a vari- ety of different equipment setups with the mini- mum of reconfiguration.

This is a great time-saver, as not only are the RC- 898’s parameters stored and recalled, but the set- tings for the DTRS units connected to the RC-898 are also stored and recalled. In this way, up to six DTRS units can be reconfigured to preset configu- ration patterns with the press of one key.

4.5.1 Saving the current setup

1)From the top menu, move the cursor to menu group F, and press SELECT:

K e y M o d e

F r a m e D i s p

D i s p T i m e

> S e t u p

S e t u p

2)Move the cursor to Setup (as shown above), and press SELECT:

S e t u p

L o a d 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F

As you can see, there are 10 user setups, numbered from 0 through 9, and a factory setup (F). Natu- rally, you can reload the factory settings, but you cannot overwrite them with your own settings; you must choose one of the 10 user areas.
