Button Function
Press-to-listen
When pressed the current minimum noise level is shown in the right
(largest) box and sound is available in the headphones. When released
the minimum value in the right box is held in memory.

This button is used to decrease the volume in the headphones, or adjust
the screen contrast in screen contrast mode.

This button is used to increase the volume in the headphones, or adjust
the screen contrast in screen contrast mode.
Store
When pressed and released, the current value of the minimum sound
level (shown in the right hand box) will be stored in the middle box and
the contents of the middle box moved to the left box. The contents of the
left box are discarded. This feature allows the last 3 saved values to be
shown on the screen. Holding the store button for about 3 seconds will
