Setting up your Headend Satellite Receiver via the Alt Mode interface requires
setup of frequency-related and other options. These settings are used by the re-
ceiver for locking onto the signal, and for optimizing receiver performance. Some
menu interface functions are also available via the Alt Mode interface. For a sum-
mary of Alt Mode functions, see Table 4.

While viewing any channel, you can use Alt Mode functions to view the current
receiver setup, or you can view or change the current setup from the Installer
Channel. Alt Mode functions are available via receiver front panel buttons. Alt-1
function labels are printed directly on the keypad bezel above each button (see
Figure 4). Alt-2 functions are also associated with front panel buttons, except that
the function names are not printed on the keypad bezel (see "...About entering
numbers using front panel buttons"). As with the menu interface, access to Alt
Mode functions is controlled by system Lock Levels and the security Password.
More information about Lock Levels and the Password is contained in this section.
Complete information about how each of the Alt-1 and Alt-2 functions are used to
set up the receiver is contained in this section.
