  • Page 8 Receiver sensitivity (RX Sense) will start by rising to 100% and then the output power (IRpower) will rise to 100%. More power will be output than is necessary to cover the distance and these levels will then be reduced once the auto align process takes place. Pre-Align Complete will now be indicated Press enter to accept Pre-Alignment and confirm these settings by pressing the...
