Navigation/Selection Keypad
The navigation keys on the front panel (LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN) and the SELECT key are the primary
controllers. Each navigation key performs various functions, depending on the current state of the menu system
(that is, sometimes the left navigation key backspaces over an entry and sometimes moves the cursor to a
different menu item). Once the cursor is over the desired function, pressing the SELECT (center key) key
selects the current item. Pressing the SELECT key stores any entered values.
The table below describes the front panel keys.
