PURPOSE
To view or edit the MFC-CB user ID and to view the MFC-CB serial number.
PRINCIPLE
MFC-CB has a factory programmed serial number that is included on the
product label on the bottom of the case and can be viewed in the
introductory screen.
MFC-CB also allows the user to store a unique, twelve character, alpha numeric
ID number. This feature is frequently used to assign an organizational control ID
(e.g., an asset number, tool number, etc.). The ID function allows the ID number
to be viewed and edited. It also displays the MFC-CB factory serial number.
OPERATION
To access the ID function press
[SPECIAL]
,
<5prefs>
,
<4ID>
. Select
<1view>,
to view the current ID.
Select
<2edit>
, to edit the ID.
The ID has twelve characters. When the edit screen is opened, the cursor is on
the first character. Numerical values can be entered directly from the keypad.
In addition, the
[
←
]
and
[
→
]
keys can be used to toggle through a list of available
alpha numeric characters. Holding the key slews through the characters.
Character order going up (
[
→
])
is: blank space, symbols, lower case letters,
upper case letters, numbers. Press
[ENTER]
to select a character and move to
the next character.
When a character is selected the cursor moves to the next character. To leave a
blank character, press
[ENTER]
with the field for that character blank. Use this
for the trailing characters if the ID being entered is less than twelve characters.
After the last of the twelve characters has been entered, the
<Save ID?>
option
is offered. Select
<1no>
to return to the ID edit screen. Select
<2yes>
to save
the edited ID.
The ID can also be set remotely from a computer which is more convenient than
entering characters one at a time from the keypad (see Section 4.3.5.2,
“ID(=)” command).
The ID cannot be cleared or reset by any RESET function (see Section 3.4.1).
