Press the 

OK

 key to return to the measurement screen, or 

ESC

 to cancel 

entering the 

B-DEP

.

 

 
The user can also access and adjust the 

B-DEP

 range from the tabbed menus.  

However, this method is a more tedious than making the adjustments using the Hot 
Menus.  The procedure using the tabbed menus is outlined below:
