Live Mode

The Live Mode can be described as 5 "live program memories". If
you press the Live Mode button to turn Live Mode on, all changes to
the panel settings you make will be continuously stored. If you switch
the power off, or select another program, the settings you made are
still stored in the 5 Live Mode programs, so when you power up next
time (or return to that particular Live Mode program) all settings will be
exactly as they were when you left them.
If the Live Mode is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program instead, you can do so using the
standard methods (see above). You can also store programs into any-
one of the ive Live Mode memory locations, in which case the program
settings will replace that current Live Mode memory settings.
