10. FRONT PANEL LOCKOUT MENU
The DAM514 has a front panel lockout feature, protecting the unauthorized access to the device
with a password.
The locking feature has four operating modes:
UNLOCK ALL: Lock function disabled, allowing access to all functions and menus of the
equipment
LOCK ALL: the lock is enabled, until an alphanumeric password is entered. The front panel
controls are disabled, needing access to the lock menu to enter the password and re-enable
them.
UNLOCK OUTS: the lock is enabled, until an alphanumeric password is entered. The front
panel controls are disabled, except for the MUTE keys and the output volume control,
needing access to the lock menu to enter the password and re-enable them.
UNLOCK INS&OUTS : the lock is enabled, until an alphanumeric password is entered. The
front panel controls are disabled, except for the MUTE keys and the output volume control, as
well as the input selection and the MIXER mode (input levels for each output), needing
access to the lock menu to enter the password and re-enable them.
To access the lock menu, you have to press simultaneously the left and right PARAM keys for 2
seconds, until the next screen appears on the LCD display:
L O C K M O D E
U N L O C K M U T E
Using the rotary control, it is possible to change the desired locking mode and then press SHIFT
+ ENTER to confirm the selection. If you select one of the two password protected modes (LOCK ALL,
UNLOCK OUTS or UNLOCK INS&OUTS), the next screen prompts you to enter the lock password:
T Y P E P A S S W O R D
[ E C L E R
]
Using the rotary control, edit the selected character, and using the PARAM keys, select the next
character to edit. Finally, press SHIFT + ENTER to validate the entered password.
In the password edit mode, you can cancel an edit operation, bringing the initial password back,
by pressing SHIFT + CANCEL. Pressing SHIFT + CANCEL for five seconds erases all the characters of
the password, to start the edition from scratch.
At any time it is possible to leave the lock menu by pressing SHIFT + EXIT.
Once in one of the password protected locking modes (LOCK ALL or UNLOCK MUTE), the
equipment displays the following screen if you press any disabled front panel control:

access the lock menu (left and right PARAM keys simultaneously for 2 seconds). The following screen is
displayed:
