Main Menu

When you enter the Setup program, the following screen appears.

Sub-menu

Note that a right pointer symbol (as shown on the left)

appears to the left of certain fields. This pointer indicates
that you can display a sub-menu from this field. A
sub-menu contains additional options for a field
parameter. To display a sub-menu, move the highlight
to the field and press <Enter>. The sub-menu appears.
Use the legend keys to enter values and move from
field to field within a sub-menu as you would within a
menu. Use the <Esc> key to return to the main menu.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with the legend
keys and their corresponding functions. Practice
navigating through the various menus and sub-menus.

If you accidentally make unwanted changes to any of

the fields, use the set default hot key <F5> to load the Setup default values. While
moving around through the Setup program, note that explanations appear in the Item
Specific Help window located to the right of each menu. This window displays the
help text for the currently highlighted field.

move between the hour, minute, and second fields.
