Using the Hand Held Remote
The optional Hand Held Remote (HHR) is a very useful device. It unchains
you from the console and allows you to stand on stage and call up and
check lights on the move, making for a quicker setup and focus. With the
HHR, you can access dimmers directly and move through dimmer or
channel checks quickly and effortlessly. The four-line backlit LCD display
allows you to verify your keystrokes, even in dark locations.
