Exit Bank 1 Exiting the operating menu SET Bank 1 18 Adjustment tips for the operating menu Switching between channel banks Bank Via the "Bank" menu, you can switch between the receiver's nine channel banks. The channel banks "1" to "8" have up to 20 switchable channels that are factory-preset to a receiving frequency (see "The channel bank system" on page 4). The channel bank "U" (user bank) has up to 20 switchable channels to store your selection out of 1440 receiving frequencies that are freely selectable within the preset frequency range. When switching from one channel bank to another, the channel with the lowest channel number is automatically displayed. If, during the last scan of this channel bank, an interfering frequency was detected on the channel with the lowest channel number, the receiver display panel automatically displays the next free channel. Switching between the channels in a channel bank Channel Via the "Channel" menu, you can switch between the different channels in a channel bank. When switching between the channels, please observe the following: Always set the transmitter and the receiver of a transmission link to the same channel. After scanning the channel banks (see "Scanning the channel banks for free channels" on page 19), only the free channels can be chosen on the receiver. Set the transmitter and the receiver to one of the free channels. Selecting the frequencies to be stored in the channel bank "U" Tune Via the "Tune" menu, you can select the frequencies to be stored in the channel bank "U" (user bank). When you have selected one of the channel banks "1" to "8" and then select the "Tune" menu, the receiver automatically switches to channel 01 of the channel bank "U".
