For
the
field
‐
configurable
functions,
the
available
choices
are
displayed
on
the
bottom
row
of
the
LCD.
The
currently
selected
parameter
is
marked
with
an
asterisk.
To
select
a
different
choice
for
the
displayed
function,
scroll
up
or
down
with
the
arrow
buttons
and
press
the
Enter
button
when
the
desired
choice
is
displayed.
There
are
two
ways
to
move
to
a
different
function
screen.
When
viewing
a
display
only
function
such
as
Device
Status
or
Signal
Strength
,
simply
press
the
left
or
right
arrow.
When
viewing
a
display
‐
and
‐
select
function
such
as
Channel/Freq
or
Data
Protocol
,
first
press
the
up/down
arrows
to
display
the
currently
selected
parameter
(marked
with
an
asterisk)
in
the
second
row.
Then
press
either
the
left
or
right
arrow
to
move
to
a
new
function
screen.
Note:
if
the
currently
selected
parameter
(shown
with
an
asterisk)
is
not
currently
displayed
on
the
LCD,
and
the
backlight
is
off
(i.e.,
you
have
not
pressed
a
button
for
more
than
20
seconds),
you
can
scroll
directly
to
the
selected
parameter
by
pressing
the
left
or
right
arrow
once.
To
move
to
a
new
function
screen,
press
the
left
or
right
arrow
a
second
time.
To
speed
field
configuration
and
to
prevent
the
selection
of
unsupported
radio
configurations,
the
ADL
Vantage
user
interface
displays
only
those
function
parameters
that
make
sense
based
on
the
parameters
chosen
for
previously
displayed
functions.
What
you
choose
for
the
data
protocol
determines
your
options
for
radio
link
rate
and
repeater
mode.
For
example,
if
your
channel
table
is
set
to
12.5
kHz
channel
spacing,
and
you
select
TT450S(HW)
on
the
Data
Protocol
screen,
you
cannot
select
a
radio
link
rate
–
in
fact
the
Radio
Link
Rate
screen
does
not
even
appear
‐
because
the
TT450S(HW)
protocol
works
with
12.5
kHz
channel
spacing
only
at
4800
bps.
And
because
TT450S(HW)
is
a
Trimble
protocol,
Trimble
‐
specific
“Operation
Modes”
are
available
for
selection.
