3. You now have two choices, A or B:
A. Accept the displayed ID by
pressing either GROSS /
PEAK or PRINT / SELECT. . . GROSS / PEAK takes you directly
out to the gross mode. PRINT /
SELECT displays ID.
Or
B. Enter a new ID of up to seven
digits. Use the data entry
procedure shown in the
section, Entering Data with
Arrow Keys. Then press
PRINT / SELECT. . .
The new ID number is accepted and
ID is displayed.
The arrow keys are used to enter data for the ID number, cutoff numbers,
time, and date. Refer to this section whenever the manual instructs you to
enter data for one of those parameters.
Entering data is all done through a single edit character position on the
display. The UP ARROW key increments the digit displayed in the edit-
character position up to the value needed, and the LEFT ARROW key moves
the configured digits to the left, out of the way, and brings up a new zero digit
in the edit-character position. The FI-90 allows you to enter up to seven
character positions of data.
To teach the procedure, we'll show you how to enter the three-digit ID num-
ber, 603. The same keying principles generically apply to your entry of ID,
cutoffs, time, and date.
1. Starting from a display of the
current identification number (the
outcome of step 2 under Entering
or Viewing an ID Number), press
the UP ARROW key. . .
First, a zero is displayed
in the edit character
position, indicated here by
an arrow. Only in the edit-
character position can
you edit the numeric value of a digit
upward or downward.
