? NOTE: Neither Parked dimmers nor Automated channels are
affected by the Blackout switch.

HINT: Just to the right of the Playback Fader Boxes (in both the
Playback and the Stage displays), there is a level indicator box. It shows the
current level of the Grandmaster. Whenever the Grandmaster level drops
below full, the level indicated in this box flashes. If the Grandmaster reaches
zero, the level shows as the red flashing letters "B.O." (Blackout) to indicate a
blackout condition on the stage. The flashing red "B.O." also occurs when the
Blackout switch is in the Blackout position.
Console Memory
When you turn off your console, the console "remembers" the cues and all other
show information, so that when you turn the console back on, all the show
information from the previous session is still there. The show information is
stored in RAM (Random Access Memory) which remains active by an internal
backup battery when the console is turned off. If the console does not
remember the previous show, the battery may need to be replaced.
The console checks the show data stored in RAM each time power is turned on.
If the console detects invalid data, a warning message appears on the display
stating that the battery may need replacing. (See Figure 2.5.)
Invalid stored values detected.
RAM battery may need replacement.

ADVANCED TOPIC: To change the internal battery, see
Appendix A, Maintenance And Customer Service.
Record Disk / Load Disk
The current show data can be recorded from RAM onto a standard 3.5"
1.44MB High Density floppy disk for storage. You can then retrieve show data
from the floppy disk. The disk drive is located under the front edge of the
console.
