= Enter The is used to select a menu item, accept/set/save
a change, and/or toggle on/off functions.
The soft keys are multi-functional keys that use part of the display to
identify their function. The function of the soft keys is to provide a
shortcut to the most often used menus and screens. They are located
directly underneath the display, and user-defined labels in the lower part of
the display indicate the function of each key at that time.
To change a soft key, place the menu cursor “>” on the item of the selected
menu or screen you wish to set. Press
followed by the selected soft
key within 1 second of pressing the right-arrow key. The “edit soft key
prompt” will be displayed for configuration of the new label.
Note Not all menu items may be assigned to soft keys. If a particular menu
or screen item cannot be assigned, the key assignment screen will not come
up upon entering right-arrow-soft key combinations. All items under the
Service menu (including the menu itself) cannot be assigned soft keys. ▲
