during autoscanning. Default setting is “Global” – the system pauses at each channel port for the same
length of time (length of your choosing). “Individual” setting indicates that the Administrator has set a
specific length of time for individual channel ports (as displayed in the Selection Menu). Use any of
the arrow keys to toggle between these values.

•
Global Scan Rate: If Scan Mode is set to “Global,” this parameter determines the length of time that
the system pauses at each channel port while scanning. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a
two-digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the up- and down-arrow keys to increment and
decrement the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 03.

respectively. If you type in a number greater than 24, the second field will be filled with a “- -”,
indicating that the ID Display will be shown at all times. The default setting is 03. If the ID
Display is set to “Off,” the number in this field will have no effect.

If Green Mode is set to “On,” the number in the second field is how many minutes of inactivity
must elapse before Green Mode is triggered. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-digit

the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 05. If Green Mode is set to “Off,” the
