Controller
The Obey™ D-Fi™ 2.4GHz has 11 operating modes, accessible through the buttons.
Modes
Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode (either Static,
Automatic, or Sound) to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products in
standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals
from the controller.
The Strobe-Override and Blackout modes will override all other modes and controls.
Make sure these are not selected before trying to operate the board in any other mode.
The <White Dimmer> will not be affected in any mode except Color Macros. It
operates independently from other operating modes.
Products with amber LEDs will show amber when the <White Dimmer> is on,
regardless of mode. For example, when selecting the <Purple> button for Chase mode
(see below), amber LEDs will stay on during blackout. Be sure to set the <White
Dimmer> to the off position to avoid showing amber when blackout is desired.

The 9 preset color buttons can be used to assign a color to each addressed product.
