such as in the case of a semi-broken wire or just bad contacts. If the lock icon flickers
on and off, the SMPTE frame rate may be incorrect. Adjust the frame rate until the
lock icon remains steady for several seconds. If no frame rate seems steady, choose
the one that seems the most stable as the CM will interpolate the time between locks.
30 and 29.97fps are the most common frame rates, though in Europe and in certain
other locations, 25 and 24 are more common.

Edit
- The EDIT function is currently not in use. In future releases, the EDIT function
will be used to create simple scripts from within the CM without the need to first
create a show file on a computer.
7.
Update
- Updates must be saved in the root directory of a USB storage device before
they can be installed to the CM. To download updates, go to
www.firelinx.com/update
and save the update file(s) to your USB storage device.
Insert the USB storage device containing the updated files into the CM. Only one
update should be on the USB device at a time. The MENU screen will display whether
the update is a CM or FM update as well as the update’s version number. Make sure
to join all FMs before running the FM update so they update simultaneously. If both
a CM and FM update exists, FM updates will be installed first, followed by CM
updates. Press YES to install the update to the FM. Once the FMs update occurs the
FMs will turn off completely, leave them turned off if you have a CM update to run.
Before each update, the CM should be power cycled (powered off) wait 5 seconds
and then power the CM back on. This ensures the CM sees its updates and not
anyone else’s in the field. To update the CM, insert the USB, click on MENU > press
7 on the Numpad and press ENTER. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

where they may be too bright or distracting, such as in a stage environment where
