To take a breakaway switch in Multi-Level mode:
1. Select the destination as described in “Multi-Level Destination Select Mode” on page 16.
2. Select the level for the first source by pressing its Display Panel key. More than one level may be
selected. The Display Panel key LED will turn on, and the Data field for the selected level will
change to inverse video. Any source shown on the second line of the Data field pair will be
masked.
3. Select the source by either using Data Keys, or PREV and NEXT to scroll through all the sources
in the Source Include List. The source will be displayed on the second line of each data pair
selected in step 5. If a source shown on the second line of a Data field is blinking, the source is not
defined on the level indicated above it. No switch will be taken on that level. Press CLEAR /
STORE to deselect all sources on all selected levels, and clear the display.
4. Deselect the first level by pressing the Display Panel key again. The Display Panel key LED will
turn off but the Data field will remain in inverse video.
