Responding to a Yes or No
Prompt There are three types of prompts that require a response:
•
Yes or No prompts
•
Numeric prompts
•
Mnemonic prompts
The yes or no prompts appear as a word or words followed by a question
mark (?). You must respond to a yes or no prompt with either the letter “Y”
(Yes) or the letter “N” (No). For example, the following prompt appears:
If you press the [N] key (upper or lowercase), the display will show:
You can change your mind by pressing the [Y] key (upper or lowercase).
The display now shows:
Note: Only the letters “Y” or “N” are accepted as responses. You may
change your response as many times as you would like prior to pressing the
[Retrn] (carriage return) key.
If you press the [Retrn] key the selection is entered into the DL5’s memory
and the next prompt will be displayed.
A variation of the yes or no prompt is the default prompt. The default
prompt provides an initial response or “default” for you. For example,
assume the following prompt is displayed:
If you press the [Retrn] key, the response “No” would be entered into the
DL5’s memory. If you press the [Y] key, the prompt response will change
as in the previous example:
(',7"
(',7"1
(',7"<
)/$6+ 0(6*"1
)/$6+ 0(6*"<
