Thank you for choosing Mountain to help
you to Reach your Summit! In this guide,
we’ll introduce you to Base Camp™,
enabling you to customize your Mountain
exactly to your liking.

GENERAL
Base Camp’s user-centric design was
specically created to be as easy and
straight forward as possible. It ows from
left to right, so that every conguration
you’d like to make starts on the left
hand side and walks through submenus
to the right. The image below shows the
recording of a macro in 5 easy steps that
include:
1. Choosing the Macro menu,
2. Creating a new Macro,
3. Selection of the devices to be recorded,
4. Recording
5. Playback settings and saving.
