5.2.2 Navigating the Menu Screens

Both single-function and multi-function menu screens are used throughout the front panel

SELECT: menu interface. Both screen types display all available options and prompt the user to

carry out a required action.

For the top-tiered menu screens, such as the SELECT: Configure menu branch screen and its

nested SELECT: CONFIG

Tx menu screen, use the arrow keys to first select a menu

item, and then press [ENT] to open the nested submenu screen.

Nested submenu screens, such as the SELECT: CONFIG Tx Mod submenu, provide

multiple functional selections on a single screen, and therefore require additional navigation

steps:

First, the user must first use the arrow keys to navigate to an available option on the

active screen, and then press [ENT] to enable selection of that option’s available settings.

Note that the cursor jumps from the select option name to its editable/selectable setting.

Then, unless otherwise noted, the user must use the  arrow keys to scroll through the

available settings. Once the desired setting is selected, the user must then press [ENT] to

save that option setting. Note that the cursor jumps from the setting back to its select

option name.

Repeat these steps as needed for each available option. Once all option settings are configured via

the  arrow keys and the [ENT] key, press [CLR] to exit the active menu screen and return to

the previously selected menu.
