Menu option for remote wakeup missing in Q3

Got my Q3 recently and am working my way through the user manual. On page 236 of the manual it discusses a menu option for remote wakeup. I cannot find this under the suggested menu pathway. I updated the firmware as soon as I got the camera - I have checked the firmware notes and there is no mention of it - has this changed with the new firmware or am I looking in the wrong place?

Have you set "Performance Mode" as per page 235? I have that set and remote wakeup from the Fotos app works fine. I don't see any impact on battery life.

I don't see the "Remote Wakeup" option either. I think it may have been on previous Qs and they haven't removed it from the documentation.

Yeah - works fine but no menu option - figured that was probably it - or it disappeared in the firmware update. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
