2.3 Programming Mode
The Programming Mode consists of the CONFIG mode and MAINT (maintenance) mode. These are the
two modes that will be used during installation and calibration of the RC4500. This section is intended to
be a very abbreviated guide to the Programming Mode screens and an in-depth description of each
screen should be reviewed in section 5.2 PROGRAMMING GROUP.
2.3.1 CONFIG Mode Basics
Configuration mode screens allow the user to customize and calibrate the operation of the RC4500 for
use with a particular mount. Note that most configuration items will be factory set for correct operation
with a particular mount.
