There are also fields that select functions instead of entering numbers. Rotate the DATA wheel to
select these functions. For example, move the cursor to the Timing field. Rotate the DATA wheel
one click at a time and check the display change in the field. After you have finished, turn the field
back to “OFF”.

The Function Keys

Make sure that the Main Screen is showing. If not, press the MAIN SCREEN key.

Immediately below the LCD screen are six keys labeled F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6. The functions
of these keys change from one screen to the next; these functions are always displayed on the
lowest line of the screen. For example, while the Main Screen is showing, the bottom line appears
as:

When a function has a frame such as

, that function will be carried out. When the function

is reversed such as

, you can move to that page by pressing the corresponding function

key (press

[F2]). If only characters are displayed such as

, it means that that is

the currently selected page.
Most of the screens in the MPC2000XL have function key displays, and the lowest line of each of
these screens indicates the function of the six function keys while the selected screen is showing.
Some screens have less than six active function keys and some have none.
