1.[POWER] switch

Turns on or off the main power of the PD606.

To prevent pressing the switch by accident, it is located in the depressed area on the panel .

2.[SHIFT] key/indicator

SHIFT

Pressing this key turns the shift mode on or off. When on, the indicator is lit and you can execute a SHIFTed (secondary) function of a key which has dual functions. The SHIFTed function of a key (if available) is labeled under the key.

<Note>: When the shift mode is on, pressing any key which has a shifted function executes the shifted function and turns off the shift mode.

About Non-shift mode and Shift mode

Some keys have the secondary function which is available when the SHIFT indicator is lit (i.e. in the Shift mode), while the primary func- tion is available when the SHIFT indicator is unlit (i.e. in the Non- shift mode). In this manual, we sometimes say "when SHIFTed" and "when unSHIFTed", instead of "when the SHIFT indicator is lit" (or "in the Shift mode") and "when the SHIFT indicator is unlit" (or "in the Non-shift mode") respectively.

LIGHT

<Example of a key with a SHIFTed function>

For example, the [LIGHT/CONTRAST] key as shown on the left has the secondary (SHIFTed) function which is labeled under the key. When "unSHIFTed",

CONTRAST

pressing this key turn on the backlight of the dis- play. When "SHIFTed", pressing this key adjusts the display contrast.
