Table 3-1 Configuration tips 
 
Use the SET UP key to display the Set Up groups. The group titles are listed in 
this section in the order that they appear in the recorder. 
Use the FUNC key to display the individual parameters under each group. The 
prompts are listed in the order of their appearance in each group. 
To get to a Set Up group prompt more quickly, hold the SET UP key in. To get 
to a function prompt more quickly, hold the FUNC key in. The display will scroll 
through the parameters. 
 The prompting scrolls at a rate of 2/3 seconds when the SET 
UP or FUNC key is held in. Also, [▲] [▼] keys will move group prompts 
forward or backward at a rate twice as fast. 
When Changing the value of a parameter, you can adjust a more significant 
digit in the upper display by holding in one key [▲] or [▼] , and pressing the 
other [▲] or [▼] at the same time. 
  The adjustment will move one digit to the left. 
  Press the key again and you will move one more digit to the left. 
Restoring to the 
original value 
When you change the value or selection of a parameter while in Set Up mode 
and decide not to enter it, press RUN/HOLD once, the original value or 
selection will be recalled. 
To exit Set Up mode, press the LOWR DISP key. This returns the display to 
the same state it was in immediately preceding entry into the Set Up mode. 
Timing out from Set 
Up mode 
If you are in Set Up mode and do not press any keys for one minute, the 
recorder will time out and revert to the mode and display that was being used 
prior to entry into Set Up mode. 
When a key is pressed and the prompt “KEY ERROR” appears in the lower 
display, it will be for one of the following reasons: 
  parameter not available 
  not in Set Up mode, press SET UP key first 
  key malfunction, do keyboard test (operation) 
  individual key locked out
