c) Press the “Select” button once more, to actually save the settings
The list of items saved is:

Types of configuration menu item
There are five types of menu configuration item, and editing these is a little different depending on
the type.
1) LIST: a fixed list of values applicable to that menu item, for example Keyer mode
2) BOOLEAN: an ON/OFF parameter, such as used to control whether the battery icon shows
3) NUMBER: a numeric parameter such as a stored frequency preset
4) TEXT: a text configuration item such as a stored message
5) UNEDITABLE: some menu items are display-only, such as the alignment or test tools

Editing a configuration menu parameter
To start editing a parameter, navigate to the desired parameter in the appropriate menu, and then
press the “Select” button. When editing is active, you will see a cursor appear under the digit being
edited. For example, here is menu item 2.13, the message repeat interval:
The underline cursor below the 4 indicates that editing is active; turning the rotary encoder will
change the parameter value.
When you are finished editing, press the “Exit” button to conclude editing. This saves the
parameter in the microcontroller’s EEPROM memory.
A flashing inverted cursor is also available, you can choose that in the “Cursor Style” parameter in
the “Other” menu (see later section).
