Language and Brilliance Sharing Between FI-70 Units

Language and Brilliance Sharing Between FI-70 Units
FI-70 units may be grouped together in one or more groups, allowing language and brilliance settings to be shared
between FI-70 units in the same group.
As shown in the example figure below, adjusting the brilliance settings for one FI-70 unit in Group A changes the brilliance
settings for all FI-70 units in the same group. While one FI-70 unit in a group has the brilliance adjusted or the language
changed, all other FI-70 units in the same group cannot have the brilliance or language settings adjusted.

Group A
Grouping the FI-70 units eliminates the need to adjust each unit indiviually. Up to three groups (A, B, C) may be set up.
