OPERATING
WEST POSITIONS
MainSelector positions
The [MainSelector] is easy to manipulate even while wear-
ing heavy winter gloves; it gives direct access to all essential
functions.
The
OPERATING

notation and playback of audio files.
To get access to the Play&Rec 'BLUE' positions, press and
hold the blue [shift] button while rotating the [MainSelector]
to the next Operating position (p.48 & p.49).
The OPERAND (East) positions, which establish Cantar's oper-
ating parameters, are described on p.26.
