is over the “8”.
4. Press the right selection button for “Configure”. The channel’s current configuration is displayed in a
summary screen.
5. Select “Edit” with the left selection button to change the channel’s configuration or “Accept” with the
right selection button to return to the channel screen.

and then select “Next”.
A warning will appear when transponding is selected
and Channel 8 is not configured properly.
