SHIFT/ITEM button: This is used to cause the digit which is to be set to flash. Each time it is
pressed, the flashing digit moves to the right.
UP/DOWN buttons: These increment/decrement by 1 the figure of the flashing digit.
The hexadecimal characters A to F appear as follows.

User bit memory function
The user bit setting (except for the real time) is automatically stored in the memory and held even
after the power is turned off. However, care should be taken as the settings are not stored in the
memory if the time from when the power was turned on until the setting operations are completed
and the power is turned off is less than 20 seconds.
