#7Time code buttons

These are used to set the TC or UB value.

SHIFT: When setting the TC or UB value, first press this button to stop the data running. Change the digit now flashing on the display.

Each time the button is pressed, the flashing moves to the right by one digit, and when it reaches the right-most digit, it returns to the left-most digit.

When it is kept depressed, the flashing moves consecutively.

ADJ: This is used to change the numeral of the digit now flashing on the display. When the button is pressed once, the number is incremented by 1, and when it is kept depressed, the number is incremented consecutively.

START: This enters the data which has been changed by the SHIFT and ADJ buttons. Also, Pressing this button when the TC or UB value are not set enables the TCG or UBG setting values to be confirmed.

RESET: When this button is pressed in the CTL mode, the display is reset to “00:00:00:00”. In the CTL mode, the entered edit points are cleared.

In the TC/UB mode, the generator is reset when the button is pressed together with the SHIFT button.
