5.2.1 The SHIFT key and function keys

Usually, the 10 function keys and the LOC 2/PRE- SET and MEMO 2/ +/– keys perform the duties as marked on the top of their labels (e.g. key [19] usually works as the AUTO MON key).

To use the keys as function keys (whether location keys, preset menu keys or as number keys), press the SHIFT key.

The SHIFT indicator will start to flash.

While it is flashing, these keys are used as described on the bottom row of their labels (e.g. key [19] now becomes function key 7 (F 7)).

Press the SHIFT key again to stop the indicator flashing and return the keys to their original functions.

5.2.2Using the function keys as number keys

When the FunctionKeyModeparameter has been set to 10Key(see above), you can use the function keys as number keys for direct entry of numerical data.

The function key number is used to enter the digit (F 1 enters a 1, F 2 enters a 2, etc.) except for F 10, which enters a 0.

When you have entered the value using the func- tion keys as number keys, you should press the PRESET key ([23] to confirm the value ou have just entered.

The following is a step-by-step guide to entering a Prevalue (1 minute and 5 seconds) into the Locate

 

-roll parameter (see 8.1.3, “Setting the location

 

pre- ll time”).

1)

Set the function key mode to 10Key, as

 

described above (page 5-2).
