Creating A Chase

1. Enter Program mode.
2. Press a chase button to select the chase to be created.
3. Use the bank buttons and the scene buttons to locate the scene that will be saved as a step in
the chase. The LCD display shows the current bank just above the word Bank.

5. Repeat steps 3–4 to add more scenes into steps, or steps 2–4 to add more chases.
6. Exit Program mode.
