enabled the operator selects a four-button sequence to enable a Bank after a different Bank has been
selected (see above). When the transmitter is turned ON, after Bank Selection is made and the ON/OFF
indicator will remain lit until the correct password sequence is entered within five seconds. An incorrect
password sequence or failure to enter the sequence in time shuts the unit OFF. The user is allowed to restart
