Note: The buttons demonstrated in this example will be different to your own 

 
 

If

 

the ‘F’ keys and/or selection 

keys are used to bring up a 
menu of tickets available. The 
driver will get a screen like 
this one. The driver can use 
any of the 

five

 selection keys 

on either side depending on 
what ticket you require. After 
making a selection the menu 
will close and queue the 
ticket. If you have entered the 
wrong menu, just press ESC 
to come out. 

BUT

 be careful, 

by pressing ESC too many 

times to come out of a menu will also clear the ticket queue. 
 
The menu guide for the bottom ‘F’ keys are not shown until the left up scroll key 
is pressed. Although this blocks the information of the lower selection keys, this 
does not disable their use and visa versa. You can close the menu guide by 
pressing the down left scroll key. 

The left 

selection 

keys are 

dictated as 

per the 

buttons on 

screen 

The right 
selection 

keys are 

dictated as 

per the 

buttons on
