Navigating the Menus

Even though the keypad options shown on the LCD screen may change for each menu and for each field, the control buttons basically do the same thing. The user may want to practice on a screen to become familiar with how the buttons work. Notice that:

• Pressing the  buttons while the cursor is blinking next to the menu name (far left corner), causes the cursor to scroll to another menu.

• Pressing ENTER while the cursor is blinking next to the menu name (far left corner) causes the cursor to scroll to the Main, top-level menu.

• Pressing the 4buttons while in the top line of the menu causes the cursor to move between field labels (or the menu name and a field label).

• Pressing the 4 button at the rightmost field label causes the cursor to wrap to the left side of the screen (to the menu name). Likewise, pressing the button when the cursor is at the menu name causes the cursor to wrap to the rightmost field label.

• When the cursor is blinking on a field label (top row), pressing ENTER causes the cursor to move below the label and enter into the field so the setting can be changed.

• When the cursor is below the label, the displayed directional controls in the left corner show what buttons can be pressed to change the setting in that field. When the symbol is left of the field, this

indicates the ability to select from the available values. Placing the blinking cursor on those arrows and press the  buttons to reveal each of the available choices for that field, one at a time.

To store changes in a field and move back up to the label line, press ENTER.
