1. Automatic Control Functions: There are toggle (OFF/ON)
switches on the HEADER SETTINGS page for the automatic
control functions. For MacDon headers, ensure the
following two functions are enabled as shown:
RTC (return to cut) (A)
AHHC (automatic header height control) (B)

setting fields are located directly below the toggle switches.
To enter a new sensitivity setting, touch the setting field
below the specific toggle switch, and enter the new value in
the on-screen keyboard.

feeder position quickly enough when in Auto Mode.
Decrease sensitivity if the combine hunts for a position
in Auto Mode.
NOTE:
Recommended sensitivity starting points for MacDon
headers are:
50 for RTC (A)
