Interpreting Display Information
Depending upon what you are doing, or what you can do, text on the display screen is handled according to the
following conventions:
Static or Informational
Static, informational, or noneditable text has no markings on it.
<Editable, not selected>
Editable items that are not currently-selected appear inside of outwardly-pointing pointers.
>Editable, Selected<
Editable items that are currently selected appear inside of inwardly-pointing pointers.
>Editable, in Edit Mode<
Editable items that are currently being edited have arrows pointing inwardly.
[Variable, not Editable]
Variable items that cannot be edited appear inside of square brackets. In some cases the
item is editable, but only from a different location in the menu.
{ information }
An on-screen explanation of a key point or reminder appears within curved brackets.
Buttons
Following is a brief description of the buttons on the display and their functions.
Directional arrow
buttons
You can use these buttons to scroll around when navigating the menus. When you are edit-
ing information, the up and right arrows scroll “up” (increment) and the down and left arrows
scroll “down” (decrement) list of values.
Number/letter (0 – 9)
buttons
You can use these buttons to specify exact numbers or letters in fields that permit them.
Each time you press button, the result changes to the next available number or letter. For
instance, pressing the 7 button three times creates a letter “t” (7-s-t). See Service button
below for creating upper-case letters.
Mode (Exit) button
In run mode, you must press the Mode key after entering your passcode to enter user or
installer level security.
In user and installation service modes, use the Mode button to exit from a current field that
you are editing without saving any changes or to go upward (backward) in the configuration
menus.
Enter (Select) buttons
(both buttons perform
the
exact same functions)
Use the Enter button to execute the current selection:
Pressing Enter on a menu opens the menu and shows you its submenu items.
Pressing Enter on an editable field switches you to edit mode so you can change the value
in the field using the arrows and number/letter buttons where applicable.
Pressing Enter while in edit mode saves the changes you have made and exits edit mode.
Service (Shift) button
Use the Service button to access upper-case letters or to initiate a service call to PAR or as
a confirmation in some items.
Pressing and holding the Service button while editing a field that permits alphabet letter
entry (e.g., store address) shifts the letter to upper case.
In run mode, press the Service button. The base station will go to a Service screen used for
installation and troubleshooting.
Lane button
Use the Lane button to switch between Lane1 and Lane2. The Display Screen will switch
appropriately and display only those configuration settings that are available for that Lane.
This applies to the Run Screen and all Menu screens.
The directional arrows can be used for scrolling from one menu item to another or to scroll through available choices
when editing fields.
