The RK6 Display Screen.
The RK6 features a state of the art organic light emitting diode (OLED)display.
This display is composed of 16,384 individual light emitting diodes and requires no backlight.
Unlike LCD displays, this display is viewable at angles up to ±80 degrees in both the vertical
and horizontal planes.
The Power-on Display Sequence.
At power-on or when a receiver which is switched on is inserted into a slot, the RK6 attempts
to read the current receiver settings. If the RK6 is in normal operating mode during this time,
the screen will display an hourglass icon, which should rotate ONCE, then be erased. If the
RK6 is unable to communicate with the receiver, it will re-try up to a maximum of 3 attempts.
If the hourglass icon is observed to rotate three times, this indicates that the RK6 failed to
communicate with the receiver's infra-red module, so it will be unable to read or change any
of the receiver settings.
If no receiver is installed in a slot or the power switch on a receiver is switched off, that
section of the display will remain blank.
The NORMAL Display Screen.
When the RK6 is in the NORMAL operating mode, the display screen is divided vertically
into 6 sections, corresponding with the 6 receiver slots.
Each section displays the following information for one DX2040 true diversity receiver.
The RSSI levels for receivers A and B.
The current diversity state, i.e. the receiver (A or B) that is supplying the audio output.
The audio output level.
The battery level of the associated transmitter.
The status of the headphone monitor (connected or not connected).
RSSI Levels and Diversity State.
The two wide vertical bar graphs indicate the RSSI level of the two receivers in the DX2040.
The diversity state is indicated by one of the following, beneath the RSSI bar positions: -
If receiver A is currently supplying the audio output, a letter
A
will be displayed.
If receiver B is currently supplying the audio output, a letter B will be displayed.
If the DX2040 is in the SQUELCHED state, the squelched icon will be displayed.
This icon takes the form of a rectangular block spanning both the A and B RSSI columns.
Audio Output Level.
The current audio output level is indicated by a narrower bar immediately to the right of the
RSSI bars.
NOTE: While the DX2040 is in the squelched state, the audio output bar display will be blanked.
The Transmitter Battery Level Icon.
The transmitter battery level icon is displayed below the RSSI and audio level bars.
This icon displays the transmitter battery level in 25% steps.
If the transmitter battery level falls below the recommended minimum operating voltage, the
icon will flash.
NOTE: While the DX2040 is in the squelched state, the transmitter battery level icon is not updated and will
continue to display the last battery level received from the transmitter.
The Headphone Monitoring Icon.
If the audio output from the DX2040 is being switched to the headphone amplifier, a
headphone icon will be displayed to the right of the transmitter battery level icon.
The Screensaver Mode.
If the screen goes blank during normal operation, it is probable that the screensaver feature
has been activated. See later for details.
