The R3XS Community Image now supports multiple screen panels. To ensure your display works correctly, you can select the right panel using **Panel Picker Mode**.
## đšī¸ Entering Panel Picker Mode
To enter **Panel Picker Mode**, hold the correct button combination during boot:
**Hold the Hotkey (R1) + one of the following buttons while powering on:**
| R1 + Button | Panel # | Description |
|-------------|---------|-------------------------|
| **UP** | 1 | Panel 1 |
| **RIGHT** | 2 | Panel 2 |
| **DOWN** | 3 | Panel 3 |
| **LEFT** | 4 | Panel 4 |
| **A** | 0 | Original Panel (Stock) |
Once a valid combination is detected:
- The system will turn the device off â you will need to boot it normally afterward with the selected configuration.
- The screen will display a logo when powered back on.
## đ Changing the Panel Later
You can re-enter Panel Picker Mode at any time:
1. Power off the device.
2. Power it back on **while holding R1 + your new panel button**.
3. Wait a few seconds for the system to apply the new panel and power off.
> **Note:** To disable Panel Picker Mode, **hold R1 + Volume Down while powering on**.
## âšī¸ Tips
> [!CAUTION]
> **Do not enter Panel Picker Mode immediately on first boot.**
The system performs its initial setup the first time it powers on, which can take up to **10 minutes**.
Let this process complete before powering off or trying to change the panel.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> - Press the button **early during boot**, as soon as the device powers on.
> - Only **one** button should be pressed along with R1.
> - If no button is pressed, the system will boot with the previously saved panel configuration.
> [!NOTE]
