Quick Setup

Quick Setup provides the ability to save and load Astral receiver settings.  

** Please note that the stored settings may only be loaded on the same model of receiver, running the same firmware, licensed for the identical receiver channel count.

Settings can be stored in one of the 8 internal memory slots (4 internal memory slots in FW v8.30.03 and lower) or to an Astral formatted USB thumb drive connected to the USB port.

Save Setup 

• All Astral ARX current settings are saved when saving a setup. 
• Saving an internal memory slot overwrites its existing setup file.
• Tap Erase Memory Slots to erase internal memory slots 1-8.
• Tap Save Setup to display a list of destinations (8 internal memory slots and USB thumb drive). Select a destination. Use the virtual keyboard to name the setup.  Tap Save to store the current Astral ARX settings to the selected destination.
• During the save process, “Saving Setup …” is displayed. 

Load Setup 

• Choose which categories (Channel, RF, RTSA/Scan, Audio, Network, Other) to load. This allows you to select only the settings you want to change and which ones you want to remain.
• Tap Load Setup to bring up a list of the setup files stored in any of the 8 internal memory slots or USB drive. 
• Selecting a setup from the list loads the selected categories from that setup. During the load setup process, “Loading Setup …” is displayed.

Note: Load Setup -> Default Settings, restores all settings back to the original factory default settings. This includes clearing the TX List and Network configuration
