Control Panel Detail.

When you touch the control panel, the options menu pops up in the upper right corner. Although this menu is very intuitive and instructions are not really necessary, my recommendation is that you do follow at least the first two steps, in that order. The other options you can use them later in any order and play with them as you like.

1) WIDTH: The first thing to do is adjusting the width of the Escalator. By default this is 2 meters. If this width is ok for you, continue with the next step (height). To change width press that button. A new menu comes up with different widths, touch the best for you.

Something very important is to press button "Done" to exit from the menu. when you are totally finish. By doing that you close the listen capacity and so reduce lag. Some options in the menu close the listens by itself and also the menus.

Menu doesn't close with the width options, so, now you have to adjust the height, form the height menu. Press "<< Main" to come back to the main menu.

2) HEIGHT: Press button "Height", a new menu comes up with options "Level" and "Say" among others, this means that hegiht can be adjusted by two different ways; by "saying" it to the escalator in chat channel or by using a "level".

With this second option we have to use a prim included inside the box you got when you bought the escalator, its name is "Level", and you have to use it in this way: With escalator rezzed on the floor where you will use it, rez out of the inventory the "Level" on the floor of the upper floor where you will use the escalator. Touch the button "Level" and the escalator will change its height to the right height of the place.

If you know the exact height of the place you can use the button "say", You will see that the escalator will ask you for the new height, then you only have to say the new height in the chat channel, at a distance where the escalator can hear you. Height range is from 2 to 10 meters.

The menu always closes after a height change. You have to touch again the control panel to set other options up.

Once the escalator has the right height, it is better to not to change it any more.

Now you can continue with the rest of the options in any order.

Texture has several options, you can change texture and color of the handrail, the ramp and also the shell of the escalator, even you can change the color of the textures and also the transparency of the banisters. This doesn't need instructions, play with it, you have almost 7500 different combinations, for sure you will find the right one fitting your place.

Once you have the right texture you can start the escalator, for that press button "Activate", a new menu with buttons "Power ON" and "Power OFF" comes up, this doesn't need explanations.

You can also put a sound, by clicking button "Sound" you will find 5 different sounds and even you can adjust volume as you will see. Sound can also be muted.

When you activate the escalator you will see a new prim in the upper or lower part of the escalator (depending if it is an Escalator UP or DOWN) the is the rider prim you have to touch it if you want to ride the escalator.

When someone rides the escalator the avatar gets one of the 5 riding animations available, the animation is randomly choosen by the escalator riding prim.

Button "Reset" is used to reset all the scripts included inside the escalator. If it is not necessary it is better to not use this button.

The last one is the button "Update?", when you click it the escalator connects to an external AW Devices server and checks if there are updates available. The escalator will tell you what to do if you have to do something.

REMEMBER TO CLOSE THE MENU BY CLICKING THE BUTTON "Done", this reduces lag.
