The keypad defaults to selecting channels. Channels may be selected on the control keypad using
the [+], [-], and [Thru] keys for consecutive or non-consecutive channel selection.
The following examples illustrate various methods of selecting channels from the control keypad:
• [5] [Enter] - selects channel 5.
• [5] [+] [7] [Enter] - selects non-consecutive channels 5 and 7.
• [5] [Thru] [9] [Enter]- selects channels 5 through 9.
• [2] [Thru] [8] [-] [5] [Enter] - selects a range of channels 2 through 8, except channel 5.
• [-] [6] [Enter] - removes channel 6 from the current selection list.
• [+] [1] [Enter] - adds channel 1 to the current list of channels.

The [Next] and [Last] buttons increment and decrement channel selection. If only one channel is
selected, [Next] increments the channel selection to the next sequential channel, while [Last]
decrements the channel selection by one.
Select channel 10 then change the selection to channel 11 using the [Next] key:
•
Channel 10 is selected with a gold outline around the entire channel and the channel
number is indicated in white.
•
Channel 11 is now selected with a gold outline and white channel number while channel 10
is no longer selected.
When a group of channels is selected, pressing [Next] or [Last] selects the first or last channel in
the channel list.
For Example:
Channels 11 through 20 are selected:
•
Channels 11 through 20 are still the specified channel list but only channel 11 is selected
for control. You can now sequentially press [Next] or [Last] to cycle through the list.
