Using the keypad
Use the keypad to enter alpha-numeric values, or to navigate to different
screens by specifying the menu number corresponding to the screen. When
entering alpha-numeric values for a test setting:
– The left arrow positions the cursor one position to the left.
– The down arrow operates as a Backspace key, and typically clears the
character one position to the left of the cursor. If the cursor is on the first
character of a text entry field, the down arrow deletes the first character.
– If you are entering text, the up arrow serves as a Caps Lock key.
Selecting a menu option or a
configuration setting
There are three ways to select a menu option or configuration setting.
– Use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired option then press the OK key.
– Press the number associated with the menu option.
– Change on/off or enable/disable values using the left and right arrow keys
on your keypad. For example, if the current value is ON, pressing the left
arrow a single time changes the value to OFF. Pressing it a second time
changes it back to ON.
Returning to a previous menu
Use the Cancel key to return to the previous menu.
