If a pick list is displayed, the key selects the currently highlighted item, undoes the pick list, and returns the focus to the parent menu. The key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. When the key is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the key is pressed in any sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded. If "No" is selected and the key is pressed, or if the key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before was pressed, without affecting any existing settings.

The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item's option list, or a value field's pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the key. The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed. The key is used to move between fields. For example, can be used to move from hours to minutes in the time item in the main menu. The minus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. The plus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan code than the plus key on the other keyboards, but will have the same effect. Pressing causes the following to display: Load Optimized Defaults? Yes No If "Yes" is highlighted and is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. If "No" is highlighted and is pressed, or if the key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before was pressed without affecting any existing field values.
