How to Get Help
1. Press the Help icon on the lower right-hand side of the screen to get
context-sensitive help overlays.
2. Amber overlays will point out and describe different controls on screen.
You can continue to operate the controller as normal. As the screens
change, the overlays may update to show new controls. If you press Help
icon again, different overlays about other controls will be shown.
3. While in the Help overlays, touch the Question Mark icon in the upper
left hand corner to open the full on-line manual which provides greater
detail on programming and operational topics. To close the on-line manual,
press in the top right hand corner of the screen.

a previous show.

• If you want to restore a show file from USB, remove Choreo from the
wall and plug the USB drive into port on the rear of the controller.
Only then will the options to restore from or save to USB will appear.
• The current show file name appears at the top of the screen when you
select Show File from the left.
