3.2.1 The FDU Keypad and Cursor Keys
The following image shows the FDU keypad and the cursor keys. The keypad allows the
user to enter numeric values, and special buttons permit navigation in the FDU menus or
provide context sensitive help. Cursor keys allow movement within menus and input
displays.
The < > button is used to correct mistakes when entering numerical values. It is also
used to go back to the preceding menu level when menus are displayed on the screen.
The <

The <

The <
> button has two purposes. The first is to provide a quick way to go back to the

The left <W>, right <X>, up <S> and down <T> arrow cursors are used to move in the
appropriate direction within menus and input displays. The left arrow <W> is also used to
