Quick Start

Turning on the DMXDart is as simple as pressing any of the 4 top row keys on
the keypad. When one of these keys is pressed, the DMXDart will power up in
the mode that it was in when it was turned off.

NOTE: The DMXDart may transmit DMX immediately upon power up.
Please insure that all equipment (such as moving lights) is safe prior to
starting

The PWR/BKLT key provides access to the DMXDart’s power management
features, as well as operation of the LCD display. Pressing the PWR/BKLT key
accesses the top-level power functions menu. This menu appears like this:

MENU-continue

OFF- power down

BKLT-backlight

From this display, pressing the MENU key returns to the previous menu.
Pressing the OFF key turns the unit off, and pressing the PWR/BKLT key toggles
the LCD backlight on and off.

NOTE:
The backlight is set to automatically turn off after 2 minutes of inactivity.

NOTE:
While this is the only menu that allows the operator to power down the DMXDart
it can be accessed directly at any time by pressing the PWR/BKLT key.

Navigating the menus

The MENU key, located in the top right corner of the keypad, is the key that
allows for the navigation through the DMXDart’s menu system. At any time
during operation of the DMXDart, the pressing the MENU key will exit a function
and display the associated function menu. Pressing MENU key while in a menu
screen will advance to the next page of the current menu.

To choose a function, press the number key that corresponds with the number
displayed beside the desired function. This will call the function, and jump
directly to the function screen. Repeated presses of the MENU key from within a
function submenu will rotate through the associated function menu, returning to
the function display.
