LCD

The LCD consists of a top line and bottom line, with each displaying a maximum of 16 characters at a time. If additional information is available than what is currently

displayed, a hidden choice indicator (< or or >) appears in the upper right-hand corner of the LCD. The list of choices does not scroll around to the first choice

when you reach the last choice. The and keys allow you to display the other choices.

If a local 3800Plus modem establishes a connection with a remote 3800Plus modem via the Remote branch, then appears in place of the hidden choice indicator on both modems.
