11 Operation
11.1 Control Panel
There are 6 buttons on the right side of the prompter. Each are described below:
11.2 Power Button
Pressing the power button will turn the monitor on. To turn the monitor off, you must press and hold the
power button until the monitor turns off.
11.3 Rotate Button
When the prompter is first turned on, the internal tilt switch will be activated and automatically set the
correct image when mounted either in the front facing position or in the under camera prompting position.
Tilting the prompter back and forth will cause the image to automatically switch the image orientation. This
will continue unless the “Rotate” button is pressed. Once pressed, the image rotation will be in a manual
mode and unaffected by the tilt switch. Only turning off the power and turning it back on will re-activate
the tilt switch.
Pressing the rotate button will cause the screen to “flip” in both the horizontal way and the vertical way for
a total of four possible ways. Successively pressing the rotate button while watching the prompting mirror,
allows for a quick set up for proper operation.
11.4 Menu keys
There is a group of four buttons arranged as Up and Down, and Left and Right, with one button in the
center. The operation of these buttons for the on-screen display is as follows:
MENU
