down the list to highlight the parameter you wish to change. When the desired parameter is 
highlighted, press the right or left edges of 

SELECT

 to cycle thru the settings. When you 

have arrived at the desired setting, push 

SELECT

 straight in to invoke it. Doing so will also 

cause any further left/right pressings to revert back to screen-to-screen navigation. If you  
wish to stay within the screen to adjust other settings, only press 

SELECT

 up or down to 

highlight other parameters in the screen you might wish to change. If you do so and highlight 
a different parameter, the left/right pressings will remain in the parameter setting mode. To 
revert to left/right screen-to-screen navigation, press 

SELECT

 straight in on a selection. The 

status screens are “read-only” and they also show whether or not a parameter is in error. If 
there is an error, the parameter will be shown in red, and the 

POWER

 LED will also be 

flashing red. If there is no error, both the parameter and the 

POWER

 LED will be green. 

 
The 

Power Status

 screen for the FTX shows the unit’s supply voltage (

MAIN PWR

) and the 

LNB voltage (

LNB PWR

) going to the dish. If a parameter is within spec, it will be shown in 

green, otherwise it will be red. Examples showing good and bad LNB power are shown 
below: 
 

 

                 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                     

 

 

                                

 
 

The 

Link  Status

  screen  for  the  FTX  shows  the 

LASER

  current  in  mA  and  if  the 

LASER 

STATUS

 is good. If a parameter is in spec, it will be shown in green, otherwise it will be red. 

An example is shown below:
