1.5 How to Use this Manual
This manual contains information on how to install, operate and program the MX8000 receiver. We strongly
suggest that the manual be reviewed in its entirety to become familiar with procedures and parameters of
the product. Once you are familiar with the product, the manual can be used as a reference document.
This manual uses the following conventions:
•
A small graphic of each touchpad button is used to represent which touchpad key is to be pressed for a
given operation. For example, an up-arrow would be shown as:
•
VFD
display
This represents messages that appear on the VFD (display).
•
2225Hz
This typeface represents an editable field that appears on the VFD (display).
•
Pages of the manual are numbered by section. For example, a page numbered as “5-1” is Page 1 of Section
5.
•
When this manual refers to default settings, it means programmable options set at the factory. Any
programming after the receiver is powered up will change these setting.
