Change Modes
Whenever you need to change the parameters or
properties of a block, you need to change the mode. A
warning message may appear whenever the mode of
any block is included in a list of parameter changes to be
sent to a device.
To change the block mode:
1. Tap the MODE button in the Block Menu or device
menu.
2. If prompted, select a block from the list and tap OK.
3. Uncheck the current mode. An asterisk (*) symbol
appears next to Block Mode: Target to indicate a
change has been made to the Target mode. If the
mode checkboxes are read-only, the block may have
been set to allow only one mode.
4. Tap the checkbox next to a mode to select it as the
new Target mode. A checkmark appears.
5. Tap OK.
6. When the warning message appears, thoroughly read
it and tap YES to send the change to the device, or
tap NO to cancel the operation. A Mode Change
screen showing the Target mode and Actual mode are
displayed until the Actual mode is updated. Tap
CLOSE to close the Mode Change screen.
