press the 

 or 

 key. 

a.

 

For numeric value changes: 

i.

 

Press the 

 key once to increase the 

value by one least significant digit/unit.  

ii.

 

Press the 

 key once to decrease the 

value by one least significant digit/unit.  

iii.

 

Press and hold the 

 key to quickly 

increase the value.  

iv.

 

Press and hold the 

 key to quickly 

decrease the value.
