FR Features (FR-8 not shown)
On Startup:
1. When the FR-8 or FR-16 is rst connected or powered on, it attempts to communicate with
all devices it has been programmed to control, if any.
2. Once communication with the targeted device is established, it waits to transmit any fader or
switch position data until a control is physically changed by the user. At that point only the data for
that control is sent.
***This feature prevents sudden and unexpected changes when reconnecting or re-starting the
FR remote control, as well as when a new preset is recalled to the host device.
PLEASE NOTE: When in doubt, make sure all faders are either in the correct position or fully
down before reconnecting
