Conventions

In discussing the features of VX

, we will use

Arial-Bold-

Caps

to distinguish keypad buttons and menu selections. For

example, “press

ENTER

” means to press the “Enter” key on the

keypad, and “select

Enable

” might mean to select the “Enable”

menu option, probably by using the arrow keys to highlight it
and then pressing

ENTER

. VX

keys and menus work just like a

modern computer graphical interface, so things are fairly intui-
tive.

In some cases, you need to use multiple key combinations,

or combinations with the trigger switch. “Press

MENU, ENTER

means to press and release the

MENU

button, then press and

release the

ENTER

button. But “press

MENU+ENTER

” means to

press and hold the

MENU

button, and while holding it down

press the

ENTER

button. Order often matters, so

MENU+ENTER

is not the same as

ENTER+MENU.

If you find that you have acci-

dentally pressed the wrong key or key combo, pulling the trig-
ger switch will usually back you out.

Tip: Keypad buttons usually take you into menus, trig-

ger gets you out.
