Saving a Project File

This option allows you to save a project file. If a custom project file has not been selected since the keypad was powered-up, you will be prompted to select a project file location (file #) to overwrite. A project file location is selected by scrolling the filenames using the up or down arrow keys and pressing the ENTER key. Once a project file is selected, you will be prompted to enter a new name for the file.

Project file names may consist of a combination of numeric digits and alphabet letters and are limited to 10 characters. Alphabet characters are accessed by pressing the ALPHA key and repeatedly pressing the numeric key until the desired letter is displayed on the screen. Use the right and left arrow keys to move the cursor.

If a custom project file is currently open, you will be prompted to overwrite the currently open project file. If YES is selected, the open project file will be overwritten with the data currently in the keypad. If NO is selected, you will be prompted again to select a project file location to overwrite and rename if desired.
