Setup and Settings for Look ‘n’ Stop

[Blackspear]

Welcome to “Setup and Settings for Look ‘n’ Stop”.

This thread aims to give you more of an understanding of LnS, its setup, and use...

As LnS is an ever changing product, you may find this thread has the odd setting disjointed from where it logically ought to appear. This is just part and parcel of a continually improving product. Furthermore, when we learn new things about LnS, they will also be added to the end of this thread. Hence, it remains a “Work in Progress”.

If you become lost or are unsure of anything, don’t hesitate to start a new thread with your question in the main LnS Forum…

All the best…

Cheers
