Context Sensitive Softkeys
Softkeys are context sensitive and will change depending on the active display, the current
command line, the active record target, and so on.
Changing Softkey Pages
When there are more relative softkeys than the six available buttons, the LED in the [More SK]
button will light. Press [More SK] to view the additional softkeys.
Using the Browser
To use the browser, you must first draw focus to it by pressing the [Displays] key. If the browser is
not visible, double pressing [Displays] will always bring up the browser.
When focus is on the browser, the window border highlights in gold. The scroll lock LED illuminates
