Data Entry Methods
To perform a particular test or function, the EXP requires
dierent types of information. This means that the methods
you use to enter information will change depending on the
type of information requested. The ve types of entry methods
are described below.
Typically, the soft key below the right half of the screen
conrms your choice, although the command above it may
vary. (Examples: SELECT, NEXT, and SAVE.) In a similar
fashion, the soft key below the left half of the screen cancels
your choice or returns you to the previous screen, although
the word above it may also vary. (Examples: BACK and END.)
Menu Icons
A menu icon is a graphical representation of a function you
can select, such as the Battery test Icon in the Main Menu. To

highlight it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white picture
on a black background. To conrm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.

Scrolling Lists
Scrolling lists contain items that extend above and below the

the position in the list of the highlighted item. The second
number above the right soft key indicates the number of items
