F5™ Operator’s Manual 49
The table below shows the menu options as they appear on the display with descriptions of their uses.
Any changes that are made to the settings will be saved when the FSD unit is turned off. DCI
recommends that you program the FSD settings to match the settings on your receiver.
FSD Settings Menu Options
Telemetry Channel – Opens telemetry channel options: 1, 2, 3, and 4. The remote
and the receiver must be set to the same channel and must have the same
telemetry frequency designation.
Receiver Model – Allows you to program the FSD unit to work with an F5, F2, SE,
Eclipse, or Mark Series receiver. If a receiver other than the F5 is to be used, see
the DigiTrak MFD/FSD Operator’s Manual.
Telemetry Frequency Designation – Opens the telemetry region options. If you
must change this setting, call DCI to determine which setting is required in your area
and to verify that it matches the receiver’s telemetry frequency designation.
Depth Units – Allows you to select distance units as either English or metric. When
English units are selected, the temperature will display in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
When metric units are selected, the temperature will display in degrees Celsius (°C).
Pitch Units – Allows you to select pitch angle units. The options are percent (%) or
degree (°).
Exit – Exits the settings menu and returns to the main menu screen. After a setting
is changed, the exit option is automatically highlighted for selection.
Contrast Adjustment
As mentioned above, the screen contrast can be adjusted from the main display screen by holding in the
execute button on the keypad and pressing the left or right arrow button for the desired adjustment: left
for darker, right for lighter. You can also adjust the contrast by selecting the contrast adjustment option on
the main menu, which will display the following screen.
