and
(FIG14.) LCD DIGITAL DISPLAY read 01 indicating first step.
B. Touch (FIG 9.) RECORD CHASE for 0.5 sec. All LED’s will blink, you can then touch any (FIG 2.)
CHANNEL 1-24 buttons for 0.5 sec corresponding LED will light up. Touching any lit channel button
again will cause it to blink rapidly. At this point you can adjust the dimmer level for that channel. any
other channels in this step will remain at full value or what ever level you set them at. To change
