When moving the mouse cursor to any of the above GUI’s icons, a brief description of that menu
function is displayed.
Each menu option (as represented by an icon) may have multiple functions in sub-menus. It is
important to remember that when making a menu or sub-menu setting, the user must SAVE or
CONFIRM that setting prior to exiting the menu or sub-menu. Failure to do so will keep the new
requested setting from taking effect. Further, some setting options can be selected via a
“checkbox”. If the checkbox is “filled” then the setting has been selected. Again, if prompted, the
user must click OK or CONFIRM so the new setting takes effect.
To exit the main menu click Cancel or click the right mouse button to display a pop-up menu
showing UpWindow (return to previous screen or menu) and Show Desktop (return to preview
display).
