3. Save the Macro: Once you’ve finished recording the button sequence, press the desired macro button (ML or MR) to save the programming. The LED light will stay solid, and the controller will vibrate to confirm.

• Then, press the specific macro button (ML or MR) you want to clear. The LED light will turn solid, indicating the macro is no longer assigned.
