Naming Memories
You can assign alphanumeric names
up to 8 characters long to the memories, and
have those memories displayed by name rather
than frequency. Memories that have not been
named are still displayed in the usual

format,
so
you can mix and select the way
memories are displayed.
A
choice of 60 different characters is available,
with 24 special-purpose symbols to customize
your name tags (see the table on page
