Setup Menu
As shown in the following figure, the setup menu has three levels.
The top level shows a general classification of the setting items in the menu. Except for MENU GRADE, the actual setting items are found on the second or third level.
Setting items are divided into basic items, which are needed for normal operations, and enhanced items, which are needed for enhanced operations. In the figures, basic items are shown in bold characters.
When the unit is shipped from the factory, the setup menu is configured to display basic items only. To display enhanced items as well, change the setting of the MENU GRADE item.
For details, see “Displaying enhanced items” on page 88.
