10. FRONT PANEL LOCKOUT MENU
The ALMA26 has a front panel lockout feature, protecting the unauthorized access to the device
with a password.
The locking feature has three 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 MUTE: the lock is enabled, until an alphanumeric password is entered. The front
panel controls are disabled, except the MUTE keys for inputs and outputs, 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 or
UNLOCK MUTE), 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:
