Mute the RF Output of a Selected CH Carrier 
Introduction 
This section contains instructions for enabling the RF mute option. During 
installation, for example, use this procedure to mute the RF output before you 
connect the RF OUT ports to the distribution plant. 
 
Enabling or Disabling a Muting Option 
Important! The RF output state established from the front panel of the GQAM is not 
recorded by the DNCS. At the next modulator restart, the RF output state reverts to 
the value stored in the DNCS. 
1  On a GQAM that has power connected and has finished booting, press the 
LEVEL key twice. The Output Mute screen appears. 
 
2  Press RF SEL to choose a channel. 
3  Press the Up and Down Arrow keys to toggle the selected RF Mute between  
Off and Mute
Note: When the selected output is set to Mute, the modulator displays RF Mute 
on the default screen. 
4  Press ENTER. The system saves the RF output muting changes to NVRAM and 
the default screen appears. 
Note: RF Mute appears on the default status screen for the selected channel.
