OPERATING THE MAIN UNIT
• Power switch: When the power switch is engaged, the CA
power indicator will be lit an amber color. The CA should be
left on at all times. The unit will consume very little power
unless the zones are on and active. The unit has a stand-by
mode when the zones are inactive.
• Zone Indicators: The zone indicator will light either red
for off or green for on. The zones can only be turned on
from the keypads. All functions are accessed through the
keypad only.
OPERATING THE CA KP.2 KEYPAD
1) Power On / Off: This knob on the CA KP.2 keypad con-
trols all functions except for the IR management. To turn
the unit on, simply turn the control knob clockwise. You
will feel and hear a click verifying that the unit has been
activated. The lights on the keypad will also illuminate to
verify the zone is now on. Note - The CA front panel
zone-management lights also informs you which zones
are On or Off.
2) Volume Up / Down: Once the unit is on, the knob can be
used to adjust the volume. To adjust the volume up, turn
the knob clockwise, and to turn the volume down, turn
counter-clockwise.
3) Source Selection: By pressing the knob, the zone will
scroll through the four sources connected to the CA. The
keypad has four backlit windows that indicate the source
selected.
4) IR Source Control: The IR window repeats all source com-
mands from the source component's remote (or optional
DSC/DAN keypads) through the CA and 845.1 emitters.
Most IR remotes have a range of 20' at an angle of 60-65
degrees.
