Navigation
To navigate inside the 2488MKII screens, use the
CURSOR keys to move the cursor.
YES/ENTER key
To do an action, to enter a sub-menu or to answer “yes”
to a question. We will often refer to this as just the
YES/ENTER key.
NO/EXIT key
To do the opposite of confirming (that is, to leave a screen
without performing an action, to go up a menu level, or to
answer “no” to a question). We will often refer to this as
just the NO/EXIT key.

Changing values
Use the JOG/DATA dial (we’ll just call it “the dial”) to
increase or decrease values shown on the screen.
Titling
With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the TITLE key to set
or edit the title of one of these objects. A pop-up appears
allowing you to edit the title:
Use the left and right cursor keys to move around inside
the title, and the dial to select a character at the cursor
position. Use the INSERT and DELETE keys to insert and
delete characters at the cursor position.
You can also use the up and down cursor keys as “shift”
keys, allowing you to select between:
CAPS—uppercase CAPITAL LETTERS
small—lowercase small letters
NUM—numbers
WORD—you can use the dial to select from a range
of preset words (VERSE, CHORUS, etc.). The preset
words can be edited to meet your needs, as described in
“User words” on page 93.
