Manual Conventions
In this manual, the term “select” is used to describe these 
actions.
• Using the arrow keys to highlight a menu item, and then 
pressing SELECT (for hard key devices only).
• Pressing a key, such as SELECT or MENU.
When you are instructed to select multiple items in a series, 
small arrows appear in the text. For example, "select MENU > 
Add," indicates that you need to select the MENU item or hard 
key and then select the Add item.
The images in this manual are for reference only and may not
