The softkeys
The six keys around the LCD are “soft” keys – that is, they
perform different actions depending on the current menu page
being displayed. In general, only some of the softkeys are
enabled in each page, and some menu pages have no softkey
functions.
In the descriptions of the menus which follow, availability of
softkey functions are indicated at the appropriate places by the
use of the softkey symbol:
If available, softkey functions are enabled by pressing the Fn
button [7]. This will open a screen overlay, which will indicate
the action that each of the softkeys now in use will have.
Many of the overlays time-out after approx. 5 seconds if no
selection is made. Others remain in place, and require denite
input from the user.
Menu entry level softkeys – Locate and Lock functions
Some softkey functions are available from the menu entry level
(i.e., when the six main menu icons are displayed):
– opens an overlay with the following options:
– Locate unit. This is a useful feature when using
multiple units with Intelli-Ware. Selecting Locate causes the
unit’s icon on the Intelli-Ware screen to ash to allow immediate
identication. All six softkeys on the front panel also ash.
The Locate function can be cancelled by pressing h .
(A corresponding Locate function can be initiated from Intelli-
Ware)
– Lock/Unlock function. This is a useful safety
feature; pressing Lock/Unlock prohibits access to the Audio,
Settings or Security menus. A padlock symbol appears on the
icons for those menus. To unlock, press Fn, then Lock/Unlock
again to open the Unlocking the unit data entry window.
A 4-digit PIN needs to be entered to unlock the menus. Press
Enter to select the rst digit position, and again, to allow digits
0 to 9 to be entered with the rotary encoder. Press Enter when
the correct digit is showing. Note that the digit position reverts
to an asterisk. Using the rotary encoder, scroll to the remaining
digit positions, entering the correct digit each time. When all
four digits have been entered, press Apply h. The menus will
now be unlocked. Note the BACK/HOME button can be used
to cancel the PIN at any time.
The factory default PIN is 1234. See “Security Menu” for details
of how to change the PIN.
