Home and

Default

Screens

The home screen appears on the LCD by default at boot up. During operation, the user may return to the home screen at any time, from any location in the menu hierarchy, by pressing the Escape (ESC) button repeatedly (or pressing and holding it). Regardless of the current location within the LCD menu hierarchy, if no front-panel keypress is made for more than 5 minutes, the LCD reverts to the default screen. Usually, this is the home screen. However, under some conditions (two are described below), another screen becomes the default. If more than one of these conditions exist simultaneously, priority is given in the order listed.

NOTE: Regardless of which screen is the current default, the user may still access all available screens using the left- and right-arrow, ENT and ESC buttons.

Download Screen as Default

If the U4600 is in an ACCEPT PACKETS Download state, then the Download screen becomes default.

Audio FP Monitor Selection Screen as Default

For two minutes, or until ESC is pressed, the Level 2 Audio FP Monitor Selection screen is the default if the unit features a front-panel audio monitor jack and the user plugs in a ¼” stereo phone plug.

NOTE: This is NOT usually a first-level screen, unlike other default examples.
