Main Screen - Drive Unit Up / Down
Press Drive  to raise the drive unit as long as the button is held. 
Release Drive   to stop the motion. Press Drive   to lower the drive 
unit. Double-tap Drive   to allow the drive unit to raise to its highest 
position without holding your finger on the button. There is no 
double-tap function for Drive  .
If the drive unit reaches the upper- or lower-limit switches, the motion 
stops automatically. Once an end-of-travel limit has been reached, only 
the arrow in the opposite direction operates. 
For example, if the drive unit is raised completely, the Up arrow no 
longer causes motion but the Down arrow may be used to lower the 
drive unit. Once away from the limit sensors, both arrows resume 
normal operation.
