Operating Instructions at a Glance
The memory adapter can be operated with the keypad on the device, or more conveniently 
with METRAwin 10 software. The most important functions from the operating menu can 
also be selected with hot-keys (shortcut function).
6.1
Menu Driven Operation
• The 
 key acknowledges a menu item and opens the respective operating menu level. 
The same key with the 
 symbol moves the cursor to the right, for example when enter-
ing the time.
• The   and   keys are used to select menu items by scrolling up or down, or to reduce or 
increase parameter values. 
• The current menu level can be exited with the yellow ESC key and the display is returned 
to the next highest level. The same key with the 
 symbol moves the cursor to the left, 
for example when entering the time.
• The 
 and 
 keys are used to select the desired character for numeric parameter set-
tings such as trigger levels and time.
Note: If a menu item is exited, the LCD automatically returns to its initial display.
