3 FRONT PANEL OPERATIONS

All XDS-PRO receivers provide four status LEDs which indicate power, signal, update, and fault. These
four status LEDs serve as a quick reference for the current state of the receiver.
The PRO4Q, PRO1R, and PRO4R receivers (and PRO1Q equipped with optional control front panel) are
also equipped with: A 128x64 pixel LCD display; Eight buttons: 1, 2, 3, left (◄ ), right (► ), up (▲), down
(▼), and SET; A monitor speaker; A headphone port; And a USB connector. Using the buttons and LCD
panel, a user may navigate through the hierarchical menu to view, modify, and save receiver settings.

Status LEDs

There are four status light emitting diodes, each indicating a specific property of the receiver. The
following sections state their significance.

3.1.1 Power LED

The POWER LED is on when the unit is plugged in and there is no problem with the internal circuitry.

3.1.2 Signal LED

The SIGNAL LED is used to indicate when the receiver has locked onto a signal or not. If the signal LED is
a solid green, the receiver is locked. Otherwise, the light will be off.

3.1.3 Update LED

The UPDATE led indicates a software download/upgrade is in progress. When it is blinking slowly (once
per second), the download is in process. When it blinks fast (3x per second), an upgrade has been
successful and the receiver should be rebooted at a convenient time (when audio is off air). The update
LED will also be blinking if you haven't activated your receiver unit with the NMS. See the Quick Start
guide for activation instructions.

3.1.4 Fault LED

The FAULT LED has three possible states.
 A red Fault LED indicates that there is an active fault condition affecting the receiver;
 A green Fault LED indicates that there is no active fault, but that there is either an active warning or
a past fault in the fault history;
 A Fault LED that is off indicates that there are no current or past faults.
