Load a previously stored wheel profile. This replaces the previ-
ously valid settings.

D

Keep the OPERATOR key pressed on bottom. RCL (re-
call) comes up in the left-hand section of the display and
1 comes up in the right-hand section for the first wheel
profile to be loaded.

D

Keep the key pressed on bottom and rotate the wheel.
Profiles 2 through 4 are read out in the right-hand display.
The stored wheel profile (e. g. 3) is entered once the key
is released.

The following information is available(if applicable):

-

If a wheel profile is to be stored, keep on pressing the OP-
ERATOR key after the RCL readings have come up and
continue rotating the wheel. Now STO (store) comes up
in the left-hand display, and No. 1 through 4 can be set in
the right-hand display by rotating the wheel. The current
profile is stored once the key is released.

It is possible to store up to 4 wheel profiles.

The following values (if available) are stored:
