each symbol is described in Table1.3 below.

Symbol Purpose Example
=When at a point where a value may be changed, the item
name is displayed on the top line with the = symbol in the last
character position, and the selected value is displayed on the
bottom line.
The example at the right tells you that Language is an option
that takes a specific setting. One setting for the Language
option is Français. Another setting is English. (The list of
available settings is displayed one setting at a time on the
bottom line of the display as you press Value Up or Value
Down.)
Language =
Français
*When first arriving at a point where a setting may be changed,
the current value is displayed on the bottom line and a *
symbol appears next to it in the last character position. Pressing
Up Value or Down Value scrolls through the possible values.
Whenever the current value is displayed, the * is displayed in
the last character position. Pressing Enter causes the * to
display in the last character position for the new value. Since
pressing Enter causes the display to indicate the current menu
and current item, the asterisk may not be seen until the item
and current value is displayed again by pressing a Value key.
The example at the right tells you that Language is currently set
to English.
