USING THE

ABC FUNCTION

You’ll want to use the ABC func- tion to scroll quickly through the list of beers and breweries. Press the ABC button, then press UP or DOWN to proceed through the list by alphabetical first letter—A, B, C, etc. When you reach the desired ini- tial letter, press the ABC key again to turn the function off. (“ABC MODE OFF” will display for two seconds.) Then use the UP or DOWN arrows to scroll one item at a time, or hold either of the arrows down to scroll more quickly. You can press PREV to return to the previous six lines of text, or press NEXT to advance to the next six lines.

SEARCHING BY SCORE

To help you choose a beer from the many beers which are available, each of the more than 1,500 beers included in Brew Master has been assigned a specific score by

Tastings, The Beverage Testing Institute. The institute rates beers according to the following cate- gories:

96 to 100 (Superlative)

90 to 96 (Exceptional)

85-89

(Highly recommended) 80 to 84 (Recommended) Below 80

(Not recommended)

If you would like to search for beer information according to a beer’s score, use the arrow keys to scroll to SCORE and press ON/ ENTER. You’ll see the following:

98

97

96

95

94

93

Then, to see which beers rate a score of 98, for example, simply select “98.” Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of beers with this score. Remember that you can use the ABC function as described above to move quickly through the

designation. Your screen will look similar to this:

HAZY PALE YELLOW APPEARANCE MEDIUM

Brew Master turns itself off if no buttons are pushed for five min- utes. This feature is intended to help save your battery. Simply press the ON/OFF key to wake

Brew Master up and return the LCD to its former display.
