mic channel selection, scan and scan interval 
time by using front panel push-buttons or a 
hotkey sequence.

Complete instructions for both hotkey 
commands and front panel button usage can be 
found on the following page.

Hotkey sequence
Hotkey commands allow you to access and 
control certain features of your SwitchView
