buttons have long press function.

Primarily it is used to switch the LX8000 system on and off.
4.1.2 Rotary knobs
LX8000 has four rotary knobs. Each of them has one function. Only the zoom knob has, in
some cases, a function other than zoom. With the upper left rotary knob the volume can be
adjusted. The upper right rotary switch is the mode selector (It changes the mode of the
operation). Lower right is up/down switch is used for selecting sub pages, sub menus and
edit menus. At lower left is the zoom knob and it is multifunction. While its main function is
to change the zoom level in the graphic mode, it can also be used if an error is made during
editing; it is possible to move the cursor back by rotating this knob. However, this can only
be done if 'editing' is active which is shown by the cursor blinking.
