Managing the Channel Banks
Page 28
PLANNING THE CHANNEL BANKS
Generally, TV channels are grouped into “program
packages” with terms that are proposed to the end
user. The user then opts for a package. Below is
an example of how TV channels may be grouped.
You may plan your package by using a chart like
the one after the following page.
Remember, you can “blank” a channel for
accommodating audio-only, such as an FM radio
station or in-house communication.
Sometimes, only one or two channel banks may
be needed. You may leave any unused bank with
the channels entered during Auto Program; or, you
may delete the channels. However, you may want
to leave at least one channel in any unused bank.
Then, if someone selects an “unused” bank, that
channel will assure them that the TV is functional.
Note: Some channels from factory testing may be
in the channel banks if you have not yet run Auto
Program.
Note: Be advised that running Auto Program
overwrites any custom channel setups; removes
Blanked, Deleted.
2. Select a channel bank with an installer remote -
-press SOURCE/BANK (and repeat). CHANNEL
BANK and BANK number will be displayed.
3. Use the ADD/DEL/BLNK item (also in the Setup
menu) to customize your program package. You
may delete channels or add some that have not
been entered. You can also “Blank” a channel for
accommodating an audio-only program
source or in-house communication. The
“ADD/DEL/BLNK” item on page 15 has more
details.
Note: The Blank Channel feature is global. A
channel will be blanked in all channel banks.
4. Repeat steps 2, and 3 to program another
channel bank.
Inactive TV Display (Channel Bank 4)
The TV can be set up to be inactive; which would
require an attendant using an installer remote to
change to a “billable” active channel bank
selection: Bank 1, 2, or 3.
Note: For institution control of patient-accessible
programming, channels in Bank 4 need to be
removed.
Using the optional Installer’s remote control, the TV has four channel banks, where the administrator or
installer can store groups of TV channels.
