Key Option Description

F1 Help Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window. This window describes the

Setup key legend. The up arrow, down arrow, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End

keys scroll the text in this window.

Enter

Execute Command The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu,

or to display a pick list if a selected option has a value field, or to select a sub-field for

multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo

the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.

ESC Exit The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the

pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or

selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered.

When the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is

displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.

↑ Select Item The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous options in

a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the

Enter key.

↓ Select Item The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item’s option list, or a value

field’s pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key.

↔ Select Menu The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The

keys have no affect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed.

If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default

user is returned to where they were before F9 was pressed without affecting any

existing field values

Setup Confirmation

[Yes] [No]

If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is

exited. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or the ESC key is pressed, the

user is returned to where they were before F10 was pressed without affecting any

existing values.
