6.2.8. Aging and Refreshing of Settings
The TUNING SETTINGS OUTDATED function allows the operator to specify a "period of validity" or "time
period allowed" of the settings retrieved by the "quick tuning" commands from the tuner memory. The hours
are presented as a "total time the tuner was powered".
The limits of the aging alarm can be specified by the operator in four stages: [100 - 300 - 1000 - 3000] hours.
Each setting retrieved from tuner memory comes with the number of hours that the tuner has been in
operation since the time the setting was stored, up to the time it was retrieved. If the time period of the
retrieved setting is older than the limit specified by the operator, the alert text TUNING OUTDATED is
displayed on the amplifier screen, but the outdated tuning settings can still be used.
