1.4.2 Use of the Function Keys
In order to make it easier to input data, the teach pendant is provided with six function
keys, i.e., "F1" to "F6".
The functions to which "F1" to "F5" correspond will change depending on the mode. The
names of these functions will appear above the corresponding function key. By pushing
the appropriate key, commands can be executed without having to type in each letter
making up that command.
The "F6" key is the NEXT key. When there are more than five commands in a particular
mode, the NEXT key allows one to display the additional commands.
Example: Selecting the "SAVE" command
> ■
EDIT LOAD SAVE TESTRUN> RESET NEXT
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6
Command names followed by a “>” symbol indicate commands which are executed
immediately when the, corresponding function key is pushed.

Caution
The function keys work differently when editing with the screen editor or data editor. For
more information, refer to Chapter 5 "Program Editing" and Chapter 6 "Data Editing."
