Setup mode  
 
This is where you will find some of  the features that govern the 
way the DEQ230 operates in the other modes. They are what you 
would call "Global" settings, in that their status is not stored with a 
program. No matter which program you call up, these settings will 
not change. And since they make such a big difference in how the 
unit works, they have been "tucked away" so they won’t be altered 
accidentally.  
 
To access Setup mode, first you must turn off  the DEQ230. Then 
turn the unit back on, wait until you see the letters “DEQ230” in 
the display, and then hold down the [STORE] button. After a 
couple of  seconds you will see the word "SETUP" appear in large 
letters above Channel A‘s [BAND SELECT] buttons. Then the 
LEDs over Channel A will read "M. LVL," and the LEDs over 
Channel B will read "+00."  
 
The first twelve [BAND SELECT] buttons of  Channel A are 
used to select between the different functions in Setup mode. They 
are:

selected function. 
The [STORE] button may be 
used to cycle through the 
functions also. 
To return to Program mode 
 from Setup mode, press the 
[LINK/EXIT] button or turn  
the DEQ230 off and back on.
