The E2’s display screen is four lines high. Throughout this chapter, entire m enus are shown for ease of ref-
erence, unless otherwise noted.
Please note the following important menu rules and c onventions:
• The top line names the current m enu, in upper-case letters.
• Subsequent lines typically display two fields:
-Forafunction, the left-hand field names the function. The right-hand field shows the function’s current parameter (or value).
In the preceding illustration, Black Invalid is a function and On is its current value.
-Forasubmenu, the left-hand field names the submenu that you c an access. The right-hand field displays a double arrow
(>>), indicating that a submenu is available. In the preceding illustration, USB Backup/Restore and Ethernet are two of
the available submenu s. To use a submenu, scroll to it and pres s SEL. Then scroll through the list that appears.
-Thenavigation cursor (>) in the left-hand column indicates the current line on which you can take action. This arrow moves
as you rotate the ADJUST k nob on the front panel. When you reach a n editable field and pr ess SEL, the navigation cursor
changes to an edit cursor (#).
