CODE SELECTION
Code selection is done with eight keys (
0 - 7
) that provide 4,096 active identification codes.
Pushing one of these keys begins the code selection sequence. The new code will not be activated
until the fourth digit is entered. Pressing the
CLR
key will move the cursor back to the previous
digit. Pressing the
CLR
key when the cursor is on the first key of the code, or pressing the
CRSR
key during code entry, will remove the cursor and cancel data entry, restoring the previous code.
You may press the
CLR
key up to five seconds after code entry is complete to return the cursor
to the fourth digit. The numbers
8
and
9
are not used for code entry, only for entering a Count Down
time, contrast and display brightness, and in the Configuration Mode.
