method of interacting with or controlling the room system.
The initial interface and on-screen prompts make use of the
control panel default setup.

proximity to "wake up" the panel.
MAINTENANCE

to clean the glass and cabinet. Do not use abrasives or
solvent-based cleaning products. If necessary, use a
specially formulated screen cleaner on a soft cloth to wipe
any smears off the control panel. Wipe with a dry cloth to
remove any residual moisture.

top of the control panel rear. A simple press will bring up
the device settings screen.
