TIMING
The keys on your readout, illustrated below, have multiple functions. Timing,
(how long a key is depressed) is important. This manual uses the terms
“momentarily” to describe a key press of less than 0.8 seconds and “press
and hold” to describe a key press of 2 seconds or longer. See Table Below.
The execution of a key’s function is performed on “key release” for
momentary key presses and after the allotted time has elapsed for “press &
hold” operations. See Table Below.
