At this point, you have access to the CyberDome II programming menus. For more information on the
programming menus, see Accessing programming menus on page 3.
Navigating menus with the keypad
You can use multiple methods to navigate through the menu system with your keypad. Use either the keypad
joystick, or the pause or play buttons to move up or down and advance through the menu systems.
When you have the desired menu option selected, use either the joystick or the seq button to pan right to
advance. You may also be able to press the number associated with your desired menu selection to proceed to
highlight that option or the next menu.
Note: When you press the number associated with an option and there is a value to set, you will automatically be asked to set
that value. If there is no value to set, when you press the number associated with an option, that option will be selected
and you will proceed to the next menu.
The arrow indicator identifies the property that will be changed. To change a setting, press the iris + button. If
you change the setting of the property the arrow indicator is on and advance to the next menu, the setting will
be saved. Alternatively, you may be able to use the zoom + button to advance.

Camera system menu
When accessing the CyberDome II series, with no Memory indication flashing, the following four menus
display:
• Product information
• System information
• Password
• Program select
Memory indication flashing
If the settings stored in the memory of the housing differ from the settings stored in the memory of the camera
(PTZ), Memory will flash on your monitor. When you log on, you will see the Memory management menu
(Figure 3) asking you to choose which settings you want. The settings you choose overwrite the settings you
have chosen not to use. Until you decide which settings to use, the unit will use the settings stored in the
camera. Once the settings have been successfully transferred, Memory will stop flashing on the monitor.
The Memory management screen appears after the Version screen in the menu sequence. So if the memory
message is flashing, the menu order will be Product information > System information > Memory > Program
select.
