Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn. The lightning flash with arrow head symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] R6, RS232 in - Connection to a PC or modem for use with remote control / monitoring program or for firmload download. R8, AC Line Cord ­ For connection to the nominal 120 VAC power source. This unit is designed for use in Setup and Programming / Software Flow Chart Programming and viewing of the various setup and operating parameters is accomplished using the front panel back lit, two line, sixteen character wide LCD along with the two LEFT and RIGHT SELECT buttons and the five LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons. The name of the parameter is on the top line of the display and the setting value is on the bottom line. To observe a certain parameter setting without intending to change its value, just use the LEFT and RIGHT SELECT buttons and the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to navigate through the menus shown in the software flow chart below. The current setting for each parameter is shown on the bottom line of the display. Note that depending upon certain settings, some screens are not needed and will be skipped. 9 To make a change in the displayed parameter and its setting and if this is the initial setup, you will want to enter the `adjust' mode. To do this, press the ENTER button that is located in the center of the four arrow buttons and hold in for several seconds until the display begins to flash. After you are in the adjust mode (bottom line of screen flashing) use the left and right arrows to navigate among screens and use the up and down arrows to change the parameter setting. When ENTER is pressed, the new settings will be loaded and stored and the unit will exit the `adjust' mode. You may wish to not press ENTER until you have gone through all screens and settings and then press ENTER to save and load all changes in one step OR you can store just one or several parameters at a time and reenter adjust mode to set the next. Either method is acceptable.

NOTE: At this point you may proceed through the remaining menus, below, before pressing the ENTER button to load the selected data OR you may press ENTER now and then come back to the rest of the menus. In any case, when the ENTER button is pressed, one of the following two actions will occur: A) If SELECT ALL PROGS has been selected, the MEQ1000 will now read PAT tables from the two input streams and discover which MPEG programs are defined. If you wish to view the MPEG program numbers of programs that were found, follow the procedure below: VIEWING MPEG PROGRAM NUMBERS In order to see the MPEG program numbers of incoming streams, the following procedure can be followed: 1) Press the ENTER button for 2 seconds to enter program mode. By continuing to hold in the ENTER button, the following display will be slowed down so that program numbers can be read as they scroll by. 3) A screen will be displayed that indicates: PMT PROG A xxxx or PMT PROG B xxxx. 4) The xxxx field will be a number that corresponds to the MPEG program number of a program found in the PMT table for the indicated (A or B) input. As the button is held, all entries for input A will scroll past and then entries for input B will scroll past. [. . . ] The unit must be sent to the following address: Service Department R. L.
