Default How to use a V-AFC?

Just trying to get some tips. It's actually installed on a non V-TEC car, but I need the V-TEC controller to control the secondaries on my intake manifold.
I just had a few questions about the settings.
On the "Car Select" section, I set it to 4cyl, of course. But the part I'm not sure about is the options next to it. There are three. One an arrow points up, the other is two ** then another is down. What do these options represent?

Secondly, on the V-TECH controller section, where I set the RPM's it says..
L->H ????RPM
H<-L ????RPM
Why are there two? I'm just trying to get my secondaries to open at say 4800RPM.

That's all. Thanks for any help!

Don't expect help if you can't even spell VTEC right.

A VAFC cannot control your secondary butterflies.

A dash would be a punctuation error, not spelling. Get over yourself.
I asked a question, if you don't have an answer, then don't waste the bandwidth.
No reason for you to be negative over a dash.

The V-AFC CAN control my butterflies, it's been done. There are just two wires to connect.

It wasn't the dash, it was the H.

I gave you an answer from my knowledge of the VAFC, since I do have one.

Shut your mouth n00b.

L->H is when vtec will turn on during acceleration
H<-L is when vtec will turn off during deceleration.

Its a good idea to keep it near stock settings. as for using a vafc to keep the secondaries open at 4800, it cant do that. Just shift faster and higher so you will not fall out below 5500 after shifts.

why would you want to tune your phone? So what rpm does your ring kick? i set my VTECH at 5k. If i were you I would set my ring at 5k because when it kicks (opps i mean rings )every one will know your VTECH phone is going off

I don't know what I was thinking with the "H".
Ignoring all other ignorant comments.

Thanks for the info xcalibur. That's all I needed to know.
Like I said, it's not going on a Honda or anything. But it will be able to control the secondaries. They open by recieving a power signal. The V-AFC sends that signal and they open at the RPM the V-AFC is set at. My ECU doesn't control it because the intake manifold is from a different year.
