QUICK START GUIDE TO MOST COMMONLY USED FEATURES

HINT: The direct selection menu provides fast access to most frequently used functions. To access the direct menu, simply turn on the display and press

DIR.

Then press the correct button for the function you want to use (see the onscreen map). The button with no number exits the direct selection menu.

NOTE: Features are stored in different locations between the 3 menu systems for easiest use with that level model. All quick start steps assume that you are
following these instructions sequentially. This quick start guide assumes you are starting from a totally blank model setting, and are in the highest-complexity
setting,

LV 3, until changed within the guide. For more details on each function, see the page # referenced in each step.

This is not a toy. Always read all precautions and instructions prior to operating this electronic device.
