Leaving the Systems Menu

If you are deep within the menu structure, follow these steps to leave:

a.If necessary move the cursor to the left most column with the Rotary/Push button.

b.Scroll upwards until the cursor points to TOP (this is the main menu).

c.Press the Rotary/Push button. The cursor now points to the Menu off item of the MAIN menu.

d.Press the Rotary/Push button to leave the system menu.

This is the recommended way of leaving the system menu.

The menu system disappears after a few seconds when you stop navigating. (This delay can be programmed in the MONITORING / MENU menu.) However, when you enter the system menu again you enter at the last position of the cursor and not at the top of main menu.

To prevent confusion the next time you enter the system menu, it is advisable to leave the system menu by returning to the main menu (TOP) and selecting MENU OFF.

Making changes

To find out where to change a function, consult the List of System Menu Functions at the end of this section to find out under which menu group or subgroup the function is located.

If the cursor points to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate a sub-menu) then the item pointed to has a value. The value can be:

-a toggle value (only two values)

-a list value (more than two values)

-an analogue value (variable from 00 to 99) or unavailable (---).

If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---). This can occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analogue values associated with that function are then unavailable.

If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the Rotary/Push button toggles between these two values.

If a value is displayed next to a function that is one of several possible values, then pressing the Rotary/Push button places the cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected. Use the Rotary/Push button to point to a new value. Press the Rotary/Push button to return the cursor to the function list.

If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the Rotary/Push button places the cursor in front of the value and the Rotary/Push button is used to change the analogue value. Press the Rotary/Push button to return the cursor to the function list.

Undoing changes

If you make changes to the settings in the Systems menu and you decide not to keep them, use the Recall File function to recall a standard or stored set of values for the parameters. These files are available in the FILES menu.
