Operational Modes

3. Press the soft key adjacent to the Library folder. The contents of the selected folder appears on the generator’s display as shown in the example below.

4. Press the soft key adjacent to the folder you want to use. For example, to set the format path, press the soft key adjacent to the Formats folder. The contents of the Formats folder appears on the generator’s display.

5. Select a format by pressing the adjacent soft key.

The format path is now set to the selected folder on the selected medium. In this example, when you go back in to Basic mode and you press the Source key you will get a list of formats in the Flashmem's Format folder.

Programming the generator’s function keys

The generator is equipped with four function keys (F1 through F4) that can be pro- grammed as short-cuts to folders. The procedure below describes how to program the function keys.

To program a function key as a folder short cut:

1. Browse to the folder to which you want to create a short cut.

2. Hold down a function key (F1, F2, F3, or F4) to assign the key to the folder.

Switching from Browse mode to Basic mode

You can switch back to the Basic mode when you are finished browsing for files.

To switch from Browse mode to Basic mode:

1. Press and hold the Tools key. The message Hold to enter Basic Mode appears on the generator’s display. Continue holding the Tools key until the Browser status indicator turns off and the Tools menu appears.
