Selecting Groups
Groups may be selected from the control keypad or the direct selects.
To select a group:
•
[Group] [1] [Enter] - selects all channels in Group 1
•
[Group] [1] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - selects Group 1 and places all channels within at 50%
•
{Group 1} - Selects all channels in Group 1
If [Next] is used after a group selection, it accesses the first ordered channel in that group.
Pressing it again accesses the second ordered channel in that group, and so on. [Next] - used
after the last channel in the group - accesses the first channel in the group again.
[Last] may be used with group selects similar to [Next]. Press [Select Last] to reselect the entire
group.
