Introducing the 961's controls
Collectively, the 961's controls refer to the soft rubber buttons,
or keys, on the front face of the 961. These keys control all the
functions of the 961. Feel free to experiment with these con-
trols! You can't hurt anything; in fact, you can probably learn
many new ways of operating the 961 more efficiently.
Whether you're entering, changing, or deleting information,
the 961 always asks you to verify your actions. You'll be asked
to confirm your actions before they affect the unit's operation,
and you can always cancel a function at the last second. Menu
✔
keys with a
mark designate the final step in a sequence, the
step that will actually carry out the operation; menu keys with
a red ✖ mark cancel an operation, and return you to the screen
you were previously viewing.
All of the 961's controls are backlit for nighttime use, comple-
menting the 961's illuminated LCD display screen.
