When the "LOCK" function is in use, no transfer of command
may take place; only the "active" control unit stays in command.
On a locked control unit, backlight and contrast can be directly
adjusted through the course knob.
To enable the "LOCK" function, quickly double-press the
(STBY) button on the "active" unit.
The display on the "active" control unit will first show a single
key icon followed by the primary display on which the key icon
will alternate with the mode index (not when selected as Master
station).
The "LOCK" function is unlocked by double-pressing the STBY
button on the "active" control unit.
After having "unlocked" the "active" control unit, it will show
this symbol before the display returns to normal. All other
control units remain "inactive".

Master Operation

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
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.
