1.16 The Controls Menu (
Section 2.4

This Menu can be conveniently displayed during normal “STANDBY” or “ON” operating modes by
use of the “CONTROLS” key:-
Entry to the CONTROLS Menu is confirmed by a listing from
“ADAPT” to “TURN TYPE” (as shown) and selection of the
parameter required is via further CONTROL key operation.
When the required item is highlighted by a “flashing”
display, the value – or state – of that item is set by
movement (+/-) of the rotary illumination control.
NB. In the event that the CONTROLS Menu has been entered but no change has been made
for timeout period of 30 seconds, the display will revert automatically to its normal operating
mode.
