Using the Transmitter Display
2.1 Overview
The transmitter display provides basic configuration and management functionality.
This chapter describes the user interface of the transmitter display. The following
topics are discussed:
• Display components (see Section 2.2)
•Using the
Scroll and Select optical switches (see Section 2.3)
• Using the display (see Section 2.4)
Note that the Model 1500 and 2500 transmitters do not have displays, and the Model 1700 and 2700
transmitters can be ordered with or without displays. Not all configuration and use functions are
available through the display. If you need the added functionality, or if your transmitter does not have
a display, you must use either ProLink II or a Communicator.
