In Master operation (Wheelmark), all remote units are locked at
“power on”. The key icon is shown on all remote units with
LCD displays.
A quick double press on the master unit’s STBY (STBY) button
enables the remote units. This is indicated on the master unit by
a flashing crossed key, while on the remote units, the key icon
disappears.
The first remote unit that is activated takes control of the system.
If the activated remote unit has a display, all other remote units
are locked and units with a display will show the key icon. If the
activated remote unit does not have a display (R3000X, FU50,
S35, S100, F1/2), all remote units can be operated until a unit
with a display is operated. Then, all other remotes are locked.
