    How to keep helix 7 out of simulation mode

    How do i keep my helix 7 from going back to simulation mode every time i turn it off. I wouldnt think i would have to keep turning it off during startup everytime.

    Go to the Setup menu and turn off DEMONSTATION.

    During start-up don't do any button pushing until AFTER you get the screen that has Press EXIT to continue.

    Yes, Demonstration is used for in-store display. No reason to have it turned on when you own it.

    Go to the second page of Setup, use the arrow button.

    I just got a new Helix 9 and I’m having this same issue. No where in set up do I see a place to take it off demonstration or demo.

    Unless you have a faulty unit, it is in the Setup menu near the bottom of the list.
