to bring up a QWERTY keyboard display. Type the required word and press OK. In this keyboard display, the Next button saves
any text inserted in the current box and moves the keyboard to the next box in the custom list. To cancel the keyboard display,
press CAN within the display, or press edit again. The words in the custom list are inserted into the channel name text box in
exactly the same way as words in the standard list. Pressing custom again returns the display to the standard word set.

The user may find it helpful to define a system for ordering the custom page.

The current name can be cleared by touching the CLEAR button towards the top right-hand corner of the Channel Name display.
The Channel Name display can be closed by touching the CLOSE box, in the top right-hand corner.

the relevant button again. The buttons turn red to indicate that they are safed. The presence of safes within the channel is also
indicated by the label of the appropriate channel part turning red and the background colour of that channel’s name also turning
red.
The EQ and dynamics settings can also be safed and unsafed from within the eq and dynamics displays. The whole channel
can also be safed and unsafed by pressing the SAFE button at the bottom of on-screen channel (offline software), . It is grey to
indicate that some elements of the channel are not safed, and red to indicate that the entire channel is safed.
Channel elements which have been safed are indicated by their text displaying red in the channel strip.
Tip: When some elements of the channel are safed, a double-press on the SAFE button can be used to quickly
clear all channel safes (SD5, SD7).
