PLANNING THE CHANNEL BANKS
Generally, TV channels are grouped into “program pack-
ages” with terms that are proposed to the end user. The
user then opts for a package. Below is an example of how
TV channels may be grouped.
You may plan your package by using a chart like the one
after the following page.
Remember, you can “blank” a channel for accommodating
audio-only, such as an FM radio station or in-house com-
munication.
Sometimes, only one or two channel banks may be need-
ed. You may leave any unused bank with the channels
entered during Auto Program; or, you may delete the chan-
nels. However, you may want to leave at least one channel
in any unused bank. Then, if someone selects an “unused”
bank, that channel will assure them that the TV is func-
tional.
Note: Some channels from factory testing may be in the
channel banks if you have not yet run Auto Program.
ADDING / DELETING CHANNELS
A previously prepared programming chart is helpful.
1. Run Auto Program (in the Setup menu). All channels
found on your cable/antenna will be entered in Channel
Banks 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Note: Be advised that running Auto Program overwrites
any custom channel setups; removes Blanked, Deleted.
2. Select a channel bank with an installer remote - -press
SOURCE/BANK (and repeat). CHANNEL BANK and BANK
number will be displayed.
3. Use the ADD/DEL/BLNK item (also in the Setup menu)
to customize your program package. You may delete chan-
nels or add some that have not been entered. You can also
“Blank” a channel for accommodating an audio-only pro-
gram source or in-house communication. The
“ADD/DEL/BLNK” item on page 15 has more details.
Note: The Blank Channel feature is global. A channel will
be blanked in all channel banks.
4. Repeat steps 2, and 3 to program another channel
bank.
Managing the Channel Banks
Using the optional Installer’s remote control, the TV has four channel banks, where the administrator
or installer can store groups of TV channels

The BLNK (blank) channel function is “global” -- the
same channel number is blanked in channel banks 1,
2, 3, and 4.

Inactive TV Display (Channel Bank 4)
The TV can be set up to be inactive; which would require
an attendant using an installer remote to change to a
“billable” active channel bank selection: Bank 1, 2, or 3.
Note: For institution control of patient-accessible pro-
gramming, channels in Bank 4 need to be removed.
