Charging your DMX Spark
Connect the charging cable to the Micro USB port on the DMX Spark.

Programming a cue module to work with your DMX Spark
DMX Spark uses a specific range of RF codes. It may be necessary to program your cue modules to work with the DMX Spark.
On the DMX Spark the Channel represents the Area.
The Channel Value is used as the Cue Number. With Channel Value 10 equals Cue Number 1; Channel Value 20 equals Cue Number 2.
Set the Area field to the area you want to associate the cue module with.
Locate the programming button on your module. Usually very close to the power light.
With the module on, use a toothpick, etc to press and hold the programming button until the power light starts flashing.
In the software, press either 1, 5, or 9 to program your module to be a range of 1-4, 5-8, or 9-12.
Label your modules based on which Area and Cue Numbers are being used. Factory labels may no longer by correct based on how you've programmed the modules.
