You will notice there are 5 aligned keys with icons displayed
along the bottom of the screen. These are soft function keys

hand function key, then F2, F3, F4, and F5 is the right hand
function key.
For the TorqueStar Plus, only Check and Settings icons on the
lower part of the display are active. The Jobs and Rounds icons
