After completing these four steps, the third Other Video Mode screen 
appears as shown in Figure 7-11. 

Figure 7-11.  Calibration Other Video Mode Screen #3

When the target is touched, the number displayed above the prompt 
counts down until it reaches 0. You are then prompted to remove your 
finger. This process is repeated for the lower right corner, and the Main 
Menu screen reappears.

Edit Entry

Press the M key to display the Manual Edit Menu screen, as shown in 
Figure 7-12. The screen displays the calibration parameters for the 
selected calibration table entry, along with the list of menu options. 
You may use the keys listed in the Manual Edit Menu to edit the 
calibration table entry parameters. When the parameters are edited as 
desired, and you exit the manual edit menu screen, the Main Menu 
screen reappears.

Delete Entry

Press the D key to set all calibration parameters for the selected 
calibration table entry to 0. The Main Menu screen reappears. 

Touch the tape that was previously
applied to the upper left corner using
inserting it straight into the
only one finger, inserting it straight
into the screen. Hold your finger in
place until you are prompted to remove it.

Press any key to abort calibration.
