CAUTION:
If the User port won't be used, you must leave the cheater plug attached to the MDXII
unit.

CONTROL PANEL INTERFACE

Your MDXII unit may have either an active front panel, which is an integrated part of the unit,
or an active remote panel, which is connected to the DISPLAY port on the rear panel of the
unit. This manual uses the term "control panel" to refer to either of these panels since they
function identically.
An active front panel (control panel) has three main sections:
• START and STOP switches at the far left of the panel
• CONTROL and REGULATION switches at the far right of the panel
• A two-line display, five soft keys, and a MODIFY knob in the large area in the center of
the panel

Output Power Switches

Use the following switches to turn output power on and off.
