Modes
IMPORTANT:
Please read the following sections to determine which
RC-2A
mode works best for your application.
The
RC-2A
has two operational modes built in, called the Legacy and Alternative modes. The Legacy mode is
the standard mode of operation that has existed in all previous versions of the
RC-2A
. The Alternative mode is a
second mode of operation that increases the
RC-2A
's flexibility in some applications. The operational mode you
should use depends on the exact application for the
RC-2A
. Here are some general guidelines, but in some ap-
plications, the opposite mode may be needed (also see section
B-C
on page 3 describing the advantages and
disadvantages of each operational mode):
