two-step protocols.
To create a protocol:

2. Use the numeric keys to enter the name of the new protocol file. Enter a letter by
pressing the up or down arrow key and a number by pressing the numbered key. For
example, to select the letter C, press the up key 3 times. To select the letter S, press the
down key eight times. Press ENTER to continue to the next space. Press ENTER to
continue to the next screen.
NOTE: A protocol file name can contain 1–8 characters and must be unique to the
folder. To delete or change a letter, press CANCEL and select a new letter. To
delete the entire name, press CANCEL multiple times.
