Using the Button Controls

The side button controls not only allow you to power up the Xplova
G3, but also to access brightness and volume controls, switch
between modes, record sessions, and support general settings.

Adjusting Brightness and Turn On/Off Volume

To adjust brightness and volume, briefly press the Power button.
The brightness and volume controls appear on screen as shown in
Figure 7. You can adjust volume or brightness by 5-way control
stick. You also can adjust brightness by pressing the power button
again while the brightness control is still displayed. The Power
button toggles backlight brightness between off, the last
intermediate current set, and maximum brightness.
