Up Arrow: Increases or toggles the parameter values that have been select-

ed in the SET, CAL, and CONFIG Modes.

Enter: Must press Enter key to save to memory all changed values.

Down Arrow: Decreases or toggles the parameter values that have been

selected in the SET, CAL and CONFIG Modes.

Silence Key: Press to silence the audible alarm. See Section 4 for alarm
