Dual-function buttons (Using the [SHIFT] button)
Some of the panel buttons have two functions. The primary one is
printed above the button and the secondary one is printed below.
Use the [SHIFT] button (!) to select the secondary function — by
simultaneously holding down [SHIFT] and pressing the relevant
button.
For example, the [EXIT] button (6) has two functions: Exit and
Demo. To select the Exit function, press the [EXIT] button. To
select the Demo function, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press
the [EXIT] button.
Throughout this manual, the secondary name of a button is used
when describing the secondary function. For example, a
description of the Demo function may contain the sentence, “Hold
down the [SHIFT] button and press the [DEMO] button.”
In this manual, instructions such as “Press the [SHIFT] + [***]
button” indicate to hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the
relevant button.
