How to Use this Guide
Button icons:
Soloist has buttons that are used to control the features
and functions of the system. In addition, an infrared remote
control is provided to control Soloist. Some buttons exist
only on Soloist or the remote, while some buttons exist in
both places.
In order to make this guide easy to understand, icons that
look just like the buttons on Soloist and the remote control
are used in the text.
An icon like this
SNOOZE
refers to a button on Soloist.
An icon like this
PROG/
CLOCK
refers to a button on the remote
control.
When you see both icons like this
VOL
or
_
you can
use either the button on Soloist or the remote control.
Note: Since the volume up and down buttons exist on both
Soloist and the remote control, only Soloist's button will be
used in this guide.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) messages:
In most cases in this guide, pictures of the LCD are used to
indicate what you will see on the LCD. In cases where no
picture is provided bold text in quotations is used.
“HELLO” means this message will appear on the LCD.
Soloist features:
The name of Soloist features or modes are capitalized in
this guide.
Clock Set refers to the clock setting mode of Soloist.
