Using the Pioneer Complete Console

To access all of the features, you can use the Pioneer Complete Console:

To move the console on your desktop, click and hold the left mouse button anywhere on the console, except the buttons, and then drag it to a new position.

For every available Pioneer Complete Module, there is a Button on the main part of the console. All of these buttons share similar functionality.

If a Module is active, you can access its options through the Button on the console. For more information on setting up Pioneer Complete Features, see here.

Pioneer Complete notifies you of security events on your computer by generating Alerts.
