This is the blue, unlabeled key, which is also shown as Shift in this guide. Pressing this key accesses the alternate or shifted function of a key (such as ERROR ). Release the key after you press it. The Shift annunciator is lit, indicating that the shifted keys are active.

Press to change the ac source’s selected interface from remote operation to local (front panel) operation. Pressing the key will have no effect if the interface state is already Local, Local-with-Lockout, or Remote-with-Lockout.

Press to access the system address menu. This menu lets you configure the ac source’s interface. Address Menu entries are stored in non-volatile memory.
