The unit can be placed into the program mode at any time; to alter a number
of program parameters in order to better suit the application or user's
preferences. Programming can be carried out via the local keypad or the
optional Dolphin infrared interface.
The first step when programming is to reset all parameters to their factory
setting by using the master reset P-999. This must be done via the local
keypad.
For a Quick Start, P001 to P007 are the key parameters requiring entry.
