Using
the Softkeys
The following information will help you use the display, the softkeys, and the display control buttons.
The softkeys are the four unlabeled round keys located directly below the display. The four round display control buttons, labeled Menu, Exit, Prev, and Next are located under the softkeys. There are three separate feature option screens. Each of the screens allows you to select different features.
You enter the softkey mode by pressing the Menu button.
The top line of each softkey feature menu screen shows you the status of each feature. An arrow appears above the name or abbreviation if the feature is active. If there is no arrow, the feature is not active.
The second line on each softkey feature menu shows the features you can access. To use any of these features, you must press the softkey below the feature name or abbreviation. For example, on the feature options screen, you can access the System Directory by pressing the softkey below Dir (the System Directory feature).
Press the Exit button at any time to exit softkey mode and return to normal mode.
