ROGRAMMING

Programming begins by holding down the pushbutton switch while you apply power.
Continue to press the switch until the yellow S

TATUS

 LED is on. The audio buzzer will

also begin to sound off. When you are ready start programming, release the switch. Now
the fun begins!

Video Type.

Range: 1= NTSC, 2= PAL

This entry is used to set the video mode of your two wireless video receivers. For
example, press once for NTSC video.

 Low Battery Voltage (N)

Range: 6 to 13 VDC (in 1 volt increments).

This entry configures the low voltage alarm threshold. To set the alarm to 6.5V, press six
times. Note: the following step will be used to enter the remaining 0.5V value.

Low Battery Voltage (.n)

Range: 0 to 0.9 VDC (in 0.1 volt increments).

This entry is a companion to Step-4 and is used to enter the one-tenth volt value.
For example, if the desired threshold is 6.5V, press six times at Step-4 and five
times at this step. To enter a “.0" value (i.e., 6.0), do not enter any key presses
(wait a few seconds for the step to end).
