About the Front Panel

The D9824 receiver is operated using controls and indicators on the front panel.
These include the numeric keypad, the Navigation/Selection keypad, the LCD, the
Alarm and Signal indicators. These are shown in the following illustration.

LCD

The LCD provides information on the selections available at any menu level, current
settings for parameters, and certain status and alarm indications. This is a 2x40,
backlit LCD display. The top line may be status data or identifier information. It can
also display optional functions available for tuning operations. The bottom line will
show selections or parameter values available using the navigation/selection
keypad. The items are selected by pressing the SELECT (center key) or DOWN
Arrow key on the navigation/selection keypad.

Keypad

The numeric keypad is used to enter alphanumeric values. The MENU key sets the
software to the initial menu and returns to the previous menu. The MENU key can
also be used to cancel a numeric entry at any point during the entry sequence, and
the LEFT Arrow key allows backspacing through the entry.

CI Slots

The CI slots allow the use of CAM (Conditional Access Module) Smart Card to
decrypt purchased programming. For setup information, see Setup Menu: Common
Interface (CI) (on page 96). For a list of supported CAMs, refer to Common Interface
Modules (on page 34).
