nication Setup file has a value other than “None.”

The icon of the selected file “disintegrates” over a period of five seconds. To
stop file deletion, touch the screen anywhere inside the directory window before
the disintegration completes. Stopping the disintegration part way through has no
effect on the file.
To Add a Report or Function to a Timed Events File. Touch the icon of the file to

The VM700A inserts a copy of the selected type above the highlighted line. That
may then be edited for the new event or function to be timed.
