Notes
To copy a block of messages, move the cursor to the first message on
the block and press [CTRL][B] to mark the beginning of the block.
Then move the cursor to the last message in the block and press
[
↵
] .
The entire block moves to the opposite column.
If you leave the increment set to 0, the spacing between messages is
retained. For example, copying message numbers 1, 3, and 7 to
message number 10 with an increment of 0 results in new copies
with message numbers 10, 12, and 16.
If any of the assigned destination message numbers are already used
for an existing message, a warning message is displayed. You can
cancel the copy, continue and overwrite the selected existing
message, skip the message, or continue and overwrite all existing
messages.
Messages are copied with the following conditions:
•
Messages selected for copying appear on the Message Picks list
in the order they were selected. They do not need to be listed in
numeric order. The message with the lowest number will always
be copied to the Start number, the message with the next lowest
number will be copied to the first Increment number, and so on.
•
In any of the destination message numbers are already in use by
an existing message, a warning appears allowing you to cancel
the operation, continue the copy and overwrite the existing
message, or continue and overwrite all existing messages.
•
If adding new messages exceeds the capacity of your DL40, a
warning message is displayed and the copy function cancelled.
