Power Switch

Most devices can be powered on or off by toggling the power switch. The Duo is powered on and off with its navigation button instead.

Buttons

Each device has at least 1 button.

There are three ways to use the navigation buttons on your device: short clicks, long clicks, and holds

1. A short click is like saying ‘next please’, to cycle through options
2. A long click is like saying ‘this one please’, to select an option
3. And finally, holds are primarily used to open the menus

Some devices have 2 or 3 buttons. These allow for more options while navigating the menus.

Almost everything can be achieved with only short and long clicks.

Those are the basics of controlling a Vortex Device.

Next, try opening the menus by holding the navigation button till the leds blink white, then continue reading more over at The Menus
