10.2.2 F300 Entering Formula
To enter your own cover equation or one that may
have been recommended by a third party such as
your consultant, DairyNZ or Beef + Lamb please do
the following:
- While the F300 is switched on, hold down the
‘Menu’ button
- The display looks like this ‘F_ _ d’
- Press the ‘Up arrow’ button once to change the
‘d’ (default) to ‘c’ (custom).
- Now press ‘Enter’ and the display will show the
first figure of the current “add” equation and
may look like this: ‘0_ _ _’. This is the first of two
numbers you will enter.
- The first number is the equation ‘add’ number
and the second the ‘multiply’ number. For
example in the October equation in section 9
above, the number (115) is the ‘multiply’ number
and the (850) is the ‘add’ number.
- The ‘add’ number is 4 digits long and has to be
entered first. It and can range from 0 to 9999.
- Starting with the first digit, press the ‘Up arrow’
button to change this digit to a value from 0 to
9. Press the ‘Enter’ button when it is correct. NB:
850 for example would be entered as (0850).
- The next digit displayed, will be whatever figure
is part of the old formula. Use the ‘Up arrow’ to
change it, or press ‘Enter’ if it is correct.
- Repeat this process until all 4 digits have been
entered.
- The display then changes to the ‘multiply’
number which only has 3 figures.
- The ‘multiply’ number can range from 0 to 255.
- The first digit will appear as ‘0’, ‘1’ or ‘2’
