There are 6 user-selectable options in the
Qi45’s Preferences. This allows you to set it
up the way you prefer.
To access Preferences, simply press the
buttons that are normally used for brightness
(BRT) and sensitivity (SENS) at the same
time. Once you access Preferences, the BRT
button is used to review (RVW) the categories
and the SENS button is used to change
(CHG) items within the category. Pages 14-
15 explain each option in more detail.
How to use Preferences
To enter Preferences, press both
buttons and hold for 2 seconds. The Qi45
will beep and display Prefs. (Brightness
is at maximum during this process.)
Then press the RVW button to review
the current settings. You can either tap
the button to change from item to item, or
hold the button to scroll through the items.
Press the CHG button to change any
setting. You can either tap the button to
change from setting to setting, or hold the
button to scroll through all the options.
To leave the Preferences, simply wait 8
seconds without pressing any button.
The unit will display Complete, beep and
return to normal operation.
To quickly return to all of the factory
defaults, press and hold the BRT and SENS
buttons while turning on the unit.

An example
Here’s how you would turn the Qi45’s
AutoMute feature off.
1 Enter Preferences by holding both
buttons down for 2 seconds. The Qi45 will
beep and display Prefs.
2 Then hold the RVW button down.
The Qi45 will scroll through the categories,
starting with Display (Disp), then Pilot
Light (Pilot), then Power-on sequence
(PwrOn), then Signal strength meter
(Meter), then AutoMute (aMute).
3 Release the RVW button when the
display shows AutoMute. Since the
factory setting is for AutoMute to be on,
the Qi45will display aMute ON.
If you accidentally don’t release the
RVW button in time and it goes to the
next category, simply hold the RVW button
down again until aMute is displayed.
4 Press the CHG button to change from
aMute ON to aMute OFF.
5 To complete this change, simply wait 8
seconds without pressing any button. The
display will provide a Complete message,
accompanied by an audible tone or voice
announcement. This is an indication that
the Qi45 has returned to its normal
operation.
