BX menu settings

To change into the menu, press the navigation switch for three seconds. The Menu directory appears first.

You can change between the menu settings with the RIGHT/LEFT keys (the menu shown in row 1 is the active menu).
Press the DOWN key for changing into a submenu.
Press the UP key to return to the main menu.

Row 1 of the submenu shows the menu item, row 2 the current setting of this menu item.

Some settings cannot be changed (read only). These items are only intended to provide checks and to give the user information. To close the menu it is necessary to be in the main menu and then to hold the navigation switch down for three seconds.

Before settings can be changed, a password has to be set. The password remains stored even during a firmware update and through a reset to the factory settings. If you forget the password, the BX controller will have to be sent in.
