Seasonal options setup menu: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:34, 28 December 2016

One of your carillon’s primary strengths is its ‘set it/forget it’ ease of programming. The 100-year SmartAlmanac^TM makes this possible and you have total control. In addition to daylight saving time, you may enable or disable liturgical seasons and set the date in December that Christmas music begins to play.

This menu appears on all current musical bell systems. It has had a few variations over the years but everything you see on your system will be covered below.

The top line should now say System Setup Menu and you may press any gray cursor button until the lower line is blinking TimeStrike/AutoLevel. One more press of the Enter button will get us there.
