Zenith HCS5610 Reference Cloning Procedure Troubleshooting, Reset Clone After Static Shock

Reference: Cloning Procedure Troubleshooting

Warning: Do not use LT2002 while a LodgeNet PPV card is installed in TV or clone programmer will be damaged.

Reset Clone After Static Shock

After replacing exhausted batteries, or if the programmer behaves strangely after a static shock, activate the internal reset switch and restore normal operation.

After a reset, check the real-time clock setting. It may be necessary to reset the Clone Programmer clock from a TV containing the correct time.

Note

The LT2002 programmer is designed to be used with TVs con- taining the 221-01006 and later processors. Use with earlier TV sets may give unpredictable results. Processors used before the 221-01006-04 have a limited screen display capability. They cannot display entire screens as shown in the quick setup instructions accompanying the LT2002 clone programmer. Use the printed menu illustrations on the quick setup sheet supplied with the Clone as an aid to making your programming choices. (Although the menus are not all displayed, the clone functions all operate normally.)

Clone Programmer

Cloning Notes: While clone is copying or transferring a master setup, do not touch or otherwise disturb clone or connections between clone and TV. Cloning a master TV setup should take at least 45 seconds. Transferring the master TV setup to the target TV should take at least 45 seconds. Monitor LED on clone to assure that the blinking heartbeat pattern is present throughout clone operations. After cloning, be sure to disconnect power from the target TV for about 15 seconds.
