Some features of the device are operated from the various
controls on the front panel such as the main display.
3.1 – Display View Operation
During power up the display will show the Attero Tech logo. Once
the device is running, the display will switch to showing a normal
view. If there are any problems, the display will indicate a POST
(Power-On Self-Test) error. If this happens contact QSC technical
support.
Once up and running, the front panel can show various different
views and is used to control a number of D16Mio features. To
save power, the display will turn itself off after 30 seconds of
inactivity. To activate the display again, press either of the knobs
to activate their buttons or the monitor select button. The Display
Timeout timer can be adjusted in unIFY Control Panel.

Turning a knob will NOT turn the screen back on. It must
be a button push.

Nav” knob. Rotating this left or right will step through the various
views available. If the front panel lock has been activated by

corner of the display and while the “Menu Nav” knob can still be
used to rotate the different views no further action can be taken
on any view.
