Operating procedures in this manual
On this unit, operations such as “editing a value,” “moving the cursor,”
“setting/cancelling a value,” or “moving to a screen” can be performed
on multiple ways, as explained earlier. (For example, “button
operations,” “touch panel operations,” “dial operations,” etc.)
To prevent the explanations from becoming cluttered, subsequent
explanations in this document use a simplified form such as “move the
cursor to __ and edit the value” or “choose __,” rather than describing
all of the possible methods for doing so. For actual operation, you can
use your preferred method of the various multiple methods described
above.
