When an item represents a category that can be expanded, a “+”
icon will be shown on the left side of the panel. If the category is

expand or condense a category, first move the cursor to the
category either by touching the item or by rotating the inner or
outer knob. Once the cursor is surrounding the desired category,
either touch the icon on the left side or push the knob button to
expand or condense that category.
ITEM STRUCTURE

Enumerated – these are the most common kind of setting
and are characterized by an enumerated list of choices.
