GL2 Help - Handle functions not working	Can't Post

Hi all -
On my GL2 the grip functions work fine, but none of the handle functions work at all. This includes the zoom buttons, photo buttons and the record buttons. I checked the manual and all the menus (I think) and nuttin' woiks up there.
Any suggestions or hints on what I might have forgot or am doing wrong ?
I love the camera itself. It's a top notch device -but- I'd like to set my handle zoom to fast and my grip zoom to slow. It would be also nice to have those other functions work.
Thanks

On the right side of the handle is a slide switch that locks the controls on the handle. Unlock it and you should be fine.

Jim, Thanks !!
You just saved me a 55 mile trip to the service center. And I thought I checked the manual thoroughly.
Thanks again
