<Note>

If you select a locate point memory number that does not hold time data, "--H--M--S--F--SF" is shown and you cannot edit the time.

Use the [SKIP/CURSOR] <</>> keys to move the flashing (edit) point, and use the jog dial to enter a value.

If the value of the edit point overruns or underruns, the value of the left digit increments or decrements respectively.

• Use the numeric keys to enter a time directly.

Each number is entered from the right digit, which moves left as additional digits are entered. For example, to enter "00H 12M 15S 00F 00SF", press 0 -> 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 1 -> 5 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0.

3. After completing time entry, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The edited time data is stored to the selected locate point memory and the display returns to the Normal screen.
