the new name in the box provided (using a maximum of six characters) and press
OK. Once
the
Soft Key Set has been saved, the new names will appear in the Matrix soft key area.

The soft key is then named according to the most recent assignment made, with an asterisk (

commands assigned to that button.

removed or replaced, allowing the action to be cancelled.
