1 Getting Started
Welcome to your Control4 home! Life just got much easier. We hope
that you are excited to learn how to use your new system. We designed
the system to be as easy to use as possible, so this won’t take long. We
don’t want this manual to bore you, but we do want to give you all the
information you need to have the best experience possible with your
new system.
This manual guides you through the most important aspects of your
system. It quickly introduces you to the different features and explains
how to use the different interfaces (which include in-wall, table-top, and
hand-held remote controls). After that, you are welcome to throw this
guide away or hold on to it (in case you want to look up a specific topic
in the future). If you lose this manual, you can always get a copy of it
on our Web site at www.control4.com/products/documentation
.
If you have any questions, please contact your certified Control4
dealer.
Enjoy!

doesn’t hurt to remember that if nothing happens when you
try to turn off the lights or turn on the music, your interface
may be set to a different room in the house. (That’s when
you hear the yelling from another room.) All interfaces
