Operation
The obvious
When all connections are made and your Unity AM is sitting in the rack, you are ready for good stuff.
(We assume you have turned the unit on from the switch at the top of the AC input.)
On power up, the Unity AM will read
UNITY AM
on the LCD screen. We will refer to this as the
Home Screen. You will notice some activity on the Leveler meters that fades after about 10 seconds.
This is normal.
The LCD display
On all screens, other than the Home Screen, the LCD display is divided into the
Status Section
and
the
Menus and Parameters Section
. These two areas are divided by a solid line located about one-
quarter of the way down from the top of the screen.

The Status Section provides current status of certain system functions:
CURRENT PRESET
indicates the processing preset currently active
MENU LEVEL indicates where you are in a particular menu hierarchy
DAY OF WEEK, DATE, TIME
ACCESS LEVEL indicates the security level currently active
MODIFIED PARAMETER INDICATOR will appear when a processing parameters have been
modified and but have not yet been stored as a preset
All of this information is found within the top two lines of the screen. The Status Section displays the
same information regardless of where you are in the menu system. If the day of week, date, and time
are not on the display, it is because the internal clock of your Unity AM has not yet been set. We will
do this shortly.
