The priority of the functions
When a key is user-defined for a specific function, it has many functions. But only when the
function which has the highest priority can be executed. Other functions are ignored.
Except for the [SET], [ALM] keys, the priority from high to low is: local buttonÆChief
buttonÆbasic function.
[SET], [ALM] keys, the priority from high to low is: basic functionÆlocal buttonÆChief
button.
The basic function of register setting for [SET] has the highest priority. So if there is a
function of setting register in the current screen, please don’t define [SET] for other functions.
Pressing [SET], after entering the setting function, all of the user-defined keys’ functions are not
effective until setting function is ended.
[ALM] key has the highest priority when there is a alarm list. So if there is a function of
adding alarm list, please don’t define [ALM] for other functions. Pressing [ALM] key, after
entering the alarm list, the user-defined local buttons are ineffective. [▲], [▼], [ESC] keys return
to their basic functions. Others hold the Chief button functions which have been defined before.
