incorporated into manual March 2014 - TA Instructions for starting the MEBT Bunch Rotator. Email exchange between Jon Aoki and Zheng Ting Ang on March 30, 2009 -- edited.

Just comments  on rotator       'AUTO on' RF
Turn on rf by click 'Auto On',  then see the rf on Green light appears;
Click 'CW' ,  after you see rf on green light for seconds, no other 
Green lights on;
   or when  all Green lights on, but  Tuner loop is not closed (black)
You have to click  'Tuner lock  ON'  
Then you get the rotator in normal operation. (RF control people are going
 to find the bugs, but I do not know when).
