2. Getting Started Guide
This is a guided tour through most of the functions of the dot2.
It's meant to be read from the beginning to the end (follow the numbers), but it's separated into different chapters
for convenience.
The goal is to give you a hands-on experience with the console. Even through the general idea with the dot2 is to
have a console that doesn't need a manual, you still might want to take the tour to get familiarized with the
functions and principles of the dot2.
It could be a good idea to have this guide on a computer next to the console (or onPC). If you read this online you'll
have the advantage of always having the latest and most updated version of this text. If your console isn't the latest
version then you can change the version of these pages in the top right side of the browser. If you read this on the
console, then it'll match the version of the software.
Enjoy :-)

Welcome to this guide through the dot2.
We are going to have a look at most of the functions of the dot2 console.
It's a learning curve and we suggest that you follow the steps in this guide precisely and then might experiment on
your own afterwards.
It's also recommended that you read this guide from the beginning to the end. It doesn't make much sense if you
jump around between the chapters.
The design and idea about the console is that it should be easy to use and easy to understand.
When you are presented with different possibilities on the console, then you also see a short explanation of the
options. In this guide we are going to explain it a bit further and explore some of the differences.
This guide is written as if you are sitting at a physical console. I'll suggest you use an external USB keyboard and an
external screen - preferably a touch screen, if you don't have a touch screen, then you'll also be happy with a USB
mouse.
You can follow this guide using just a console, but you get a better experience with an external screen. There's
more about connecting these external devices in the next chapter.
The different markup in this guide
Throughout this guide I'll use some different markings in the text.
If you need to press a key or I'm just referring to a key on the console it'll look like this: Help
