Getting Started
Using the FrameScope 350
You operate the FrameScope using its front panel touchscreen and control buttons. When testing with the unit, use the following operating tips:
•Select items on the display by pressing them with your finger or with a stylus or by scrolling the highlight bar with the scroll button. The touch screen may not detect a quick press; you should press firmly.
•Many screens have lists of items that you can navigate using the Scroll button. Pressing this button up or down moves the selection highlight.
•Selected items are highlighted in dark blue to indicate that they are selected. Most screens have a default selected item.
•Execute a selected item by pressing it or by pressing the OK button.
•To return the Main Menu at any time, press the Main Menu button on the bottom of the display.
•To return to the previous screen, press the Back button on the bottom of the display.
