3.1 Power-up
At power-up this welcome screen is displayed. Main SW and user interface SW version numbers plus unit
serial number are shown.
When the unit is powered the display lights up showing selected output channels (Fig 1. no 2 ). The factory
set output channel is E21.
The display is switched off after 3 minutes. Two signal led indicate that the unit is powered. The display
lights up again by pressing any button of remote controller unit.
Next program info for channel previously selected is displayed and the channel opened, if possible. Info
shows program name, transponder frequency, channel video and audio PID number.
3.2 First time set-up
When using the unit for the first time, you must first connect video and audio connectors to monitor. After
this you can continue set-up using on-screen menus.
To control the unit first slide front panel switch to “ON”. When programming is ready, the front panel
switch must be slide to “OFF”. This will prevent accidental changes to be made while controlling other
units.

Select DVB-T Constellation (QAM 64), appropriate FEC, bandwidth 7 MHz or 8 MHz and guard interval.
To adjust modulator output attenuation use left and right arrow keys. The number indicates gain (0=
minimum level and 20 = maximum level).
You can fine tune output frequency when using different channel grid than CCIR. Adjustment is done using
left and right arrow keys in steps of 1 MHz. Adjustment range is ±4 MHz. You can monitor the adjusted
frequency in parenthesis on the same line.
