Channel Banks Setup
Use the Channel Banks to customize the channel offerings to the end user
The TV has four channel banks, where the administrator or installer can store
groups of TV channels. Note: Channel banks set up requires an installer’s remote
with “Source” or “Bank” keys.
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 com-
munication. 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 chan-
nel 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.
Adding/Deleting Channels
A previously prepared programming chart is help-
ful. (See next page.)
1. Run Auto Program (in the Setup menu). All
channels found on your cable/antenna will be
entered in Channel Bank 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Note: Be advised that running Auto Program
overwrites any custom channel setups e.g.
removes Blanked, Deleted.
2. Select a channel bank with the installer remote
- - press SOURCE/BANK (and repeat). CHANNEL
BANK and BANK number are displayed.
3. Use the ADD/DEL/BANK option (also in the
Setup menu) to customize your program pack-
age. You may delete channels or add some that
have not been entered. You can also ‘Blank’ a
channel for accommodating an audio-only pro-
gram source or in-house communication. See the
“ADD/DEL/BANK” menu page for 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 chan-
nel 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 selec-
tion: Bank 1, 2, or 3. Note: For institution control
of patient-accessible programming, channels in
Bank 4 need to be removed.
