5.10.2 Changing a Setting
Depending on the menu item, alter settings by the appropriate method explained below. When
the instruction reads PRESS to Alter you have the option of exiting from the editing
mode ore remaining in the editing mode to review the settings.
Numeric-Entry Method
With this method you change settings by entering a decimal or hexadecimal number, digit-by-
digit. The LCD shows the instruction PRESS to Incremnt while a highlight indicates
what digit is alterable. You increment the digit by pressing the mode switch. If there is no switch
activity for four seconds, the highlight proceeds to the right to the next digit. When the highlight
proceeds past the rightmost digit, the display shows PRESS if Done, allowing you to confirm
the changes. If the numerical value requires additional editing, do not press the mode switch. Wait
until the highlight restarts at the leftmost digit and then continue editing the setting.
