Part 2
Typical non-menu option screens are displayed on pages 39 and 52.
Using the <ALT> Key
Pressing the <ALT> key toggles between enabling and disabling the cursor on the LCD screen. Sometimes an
operator may inadvertently disable the cursor by pressing <ALT>.
If the cursor on the LCD screen becomes disabled (frozen) press the <ALT> key to enable the cursor again.
In addition to being used with the <I> and <J> keys to adjust the LCD screen contrast (refer to page 15), the <ALT>
key is used in programming the Apex II. Therefore, if you inadvertently press <ALT> and then other keys, you
may unintentionally perform a procedure that adversely affects your Apex-Trak operations.
Refer to Part 3 of this manual for more information on how the <ALT> key is used in programming the Apex II.
It is recommended that you use the <ALT> carefully.
