9.9.3 Configuring Quick Keys 33 Through 64

The basic Quick Key keypad contains a minimum of 32 buttons by default. Once all 32 buttons have been
assigned, an additional 32 buttons can be configured, one at a time, for a total of 64 Quick Keys. When
Quick Keys which will appear outside the current Quick Key window (e.g., Quick Key 33) are configured,
scroll bars appear on the Quick Key window. Use the scroll bars to view the newly created Quick Keys.
After the Quick Key window has been closed, then reopened, all configured Quick Keys will be included in
the display. The size and shape of the Quick Keys window can be changed using the resize handles on the
window frame.

If more than 32 Quick Keys have been configured, and any of them have been cleared, no new Quick Keys
will be created until assignments for all the existing ones have been configured. For example, if 40 Quick
Keys are assigned, then Quick Keys 25 through 30 are cleared, all 40 will remain on display, but new
assignments must be configured for Quick Keys 25 through 30 before Quick Key 41 becomes available.

9.9.4 Clearing Quick Key Assignments

Once a Quick Key has been assigned to a display, it cannot be reassigned to a different display until it has
been cleared. To clear a Quick Key, click Clear, then click the Quick Key which is to be cleared. The
cleared Quick Key will then be available for assignment to a different display. To exit Clear mode without
clearing a Quick Key, click Clear again; the Quick Keys keypad will remain on display, allowing the user to
use or make further changes to the Quick Keys.
