     Settings Password Protects Preset Modify:

     Used to prevent unauthorized use of the SYGS  
     for setting Presets and/or Channels. In the on  
     mode, the SYGS requires a Setup Password (see 
     Page 16 about setting Password) to access   
     Presets/Channels. In off mode, the SYGS allows  
     access to Presets and/or Channels while 
     maintaining password protection for Settings. 
     P: To initiate password protections, allow 
     the SYGS to cycle through its Timeouts.

Enable USB: 

The SYGS  is fitted with a Micro-B USB port for 
data access via a connecting cable. This allows you 
to update the unit’s firmware using your computer. 
For example, you can replace the Synergy Lighting 
Controls logo with a custom logo (see Page 31). 
Data corrections also can be made, if necessary. 

     Steps for updating the firmware:

     1.  Connect the SYGS to a computer using 
          a Micro-B USB cable.
     2.  After the computer recognizes the connection, 
          edit data file as needed.
     3.  When updates are completed, drag edited file 
          to the SYGS.
     4.  Before disconnecting the SYGS from your 
          computer, click “REMOVE HARDWARE 
          FROM COMPUTER” prompt, then disconnect.
     5.  Unplug the SYGS  to remove power.
     6.  Wait briefly for the data to update.
