When in FUNC setting, the side panel [FUNC] key must be pressed and held
while a second keypad option is pressed. The flashing highlight cursor "F"
indicates FUNCTION selection. The flashing "F" indicates that the receiver is
awaiting another key entry.
When in 2ndF setting, the side panel [FUNC] key need only be momentarily
pressed then released before pressing a second keypad option. A continually

indicates that the receiver is awaiting another key entry.
If you have selected the FUNC/2ndF option of the third line of the LCD, the
cursor will be to the right of the "2ndF" setting which is the default. To change
the setting to "FUNC" rotate the [DIAL] (on the top panel) one click, the
direction is unimportant. The legend "FUNC" confirms selection.
The new setting may be saved by pressing [ENT] at this point or the [DOWN]
pressed once to move to the next option "NEWUSER" on the fourth line of the

NEWUSER / EXPERT
Background: The AR8000 has been designed with two "user levels"
NEWUSER (new user) and EXPERT. The default as shipped from the factory
is NEWUSER.
NEWUSER - In NEWUSER mode some facilities are not available or have
been simplified. The AR8000 assumes defaults where some decisions need to
be made, this greatly simplifies operation while you are familiarising yourself
with the operation of the AR8000 receiver.
It is strongly recommended that NEWUSER mode is used during
familiarisation of the AR8000 receiver.
EXPERT - In EXPERT mode additional facilities become available such as a
wider choice of frequency step size, auto store parameters, RS232C REMOTE
control parameters etc.
Sections of this operating manual in "italic text" indicate an advanced function
or facility only available when in EXPERT mode.
If you have selected the NEWUSER/EXPERT option of the fourth line of the
LCD, the cursor will be to the right of the "NEWUSER" setting which is the
default. To change the setting to "EXPERT" rotate the [DIAL] (on the top
panel) one click, the direction is unimportant. The legend "EXPERT" confirms
selection.
The new setting may be saved by pressing [ENT] at this point. If you have
selected "EXPERT" status then further options become available by pressing
the [DOWN] key. These include AUTO-STORE, POWER-SAVE and
REMOTE. These options are covered later in the operating manual.
