Chapter 9. Using the D Beam

The D Beam is a controller that you use simply by moving your hand above it. Three different ways of using the D

The Range of the D Beam Controller

The effective range of the D Beam controller is shown in the diagram below. No effect will occur if
you move your hand outside this range.

The effective range of the D Beam controller will be severely reduced if used in strong,
direct sunlight. Be aware of this when using the D Beam controller outside.
