Legend Bar
At the bottom of the Setup screen you will notice a legend bar. The keys in the legend bar allow you to navigate through
the various setup menus. The following table lists the keys found in the legend bar with their corresponding alternates
and functions.
Sub-Menus
Note that a right pointer symbol appears to the left of certain fields. This pointer indicates that a sub-menu can be
launched from this field. A sub-menu contains additional options for a field parameter. To call up a sub-menu, simply
move the cursor to highlight the field and press [Enter]. The sub-menu will then immediately appear. Use the legend
keys to enter values and move from field to field within a sub-menu just as you would within a menu. Use the [Esc] key
to return to the main menu.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with each of the legend keys and their corresponding functions. Practice navigat-
ing through the various menus and sub-menus. If you accidentally make unwanted changes to any of the fields, use the
set default hot key. While moving around through the Setup program, note that explanations appear in the Item Specific
Help window located to the right of each menu. This window displays the help text for the currently highlighted field.
