If you meant to edit a different control, press Assign twice to exit and re-enter Assign mode.

2.Make the desired edit, by turning the rotary encoders below the parameters shown the LCD.

3.Use the right-most encoder to change pages, to see and edit more parameters for a single control.

4.To keep the changes, and store them to memory, press Enter on the Keypad.

5.You may then proceed to select another control to edit.

6.To discard the changes, do not press Enter. Simply press Assign to exit Assign mode.

7.When you are done editing, be sure that you have exited Assign mode. Yellow LED off.
