Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn. The lightning flash with arrow head symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] (If the ENTER key is used, the parameter value will be saved and program mode exited. ) Proceed in this manner until all parameters have been set to the desired value. Then press the ENTER button to exit program mode and use the UNIT key to proceed to the next DAD860 to be programmed. Pressing the LEFT arrow button while in program mode will back up to the previous parameter without saving the current parameter value to memory. Once programming for a given DAD860 has been completed, the information will be retained in the units memory until it is reprogrammed, even when power is removed. INTRODUCTION The programming of each DAD860(A) in an RMM12 rack mounting frame is done with the DAD860 Controller, or by a PC running Drake `DAD860 Remote Control Software'. The following discussion will describe the use of the DAD860 Controller. Use of `DAD860 Remote Control Software' will be covered in documentation included with the software. NOTE: The information presented on pages 8, 9, and 10 applies to the DAD860 and DAD860A even though the references will only mention DAD860. The UNIT button on the DAD860 Controller is used to select the unit to be programmed. The actual programming is done via the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and ENTER buttons. The chart below shows each of the menus that are available for parameter value setup and/or viewing for the DAD860 being programmed. Pressing the LEFT or RIGHT arrow buttons will navigate through these menus. You may do this without danger of disturbing any of the current settings when not in program mode. As you navigate through the menus the parameter name is listed on the top line of the display and the current value is shown on the bottom line. For setup purposes, it is best to progress clockwise through the chart (use the right arrow button), starting from the default UNIT # screen. In the chart below shows the values that are available in each of these menus.

AFD/CROP TV TYPE 4:3 16:9 DAD860 Setup and Programming (cont. ) RF LIST SECONDARY MENUS A DAD860 can store in its memory a list of all of the digital channels and the MPEG programs they contain, which it can receive from the CATV or offair signal source to which it is connected. The values shown for the RF LIST parameter each lead to secondary menus that allow manipulation of this stored channel and MPEG information. The following is a description of each of these secondary menu functions. USE LIST - This function allows selection of the desired channel and MPEG program from a channels LIST previously stored the DAD860's memory. From the "RF LIST" parameter screen USE LIST is the default value. "USE LIST" and the currently stored channel number will be displayed.
