## GETTING STARTED <a href="#h.pdiw8w7u2gro" id="h.pdiw8w7u2gro"></a>

The Pendant works in conjunction with [Spikemark software](/docs/spikemark.md) and the [Showstopper Base](/docs/showstopper/showstopper-base.md) to bring the power of Spikemark anywhere in the theater. Once connected to Spikemark, you are no longer tied to the automation table!

Although the Pendant is portable, it is not indestructible - it’s a little computer after all. Take care to avoid dropping the Pendant, spilling liquids on it, and scratching the touch screen.
