Control Keys
Control Buttons (program mode only).
| These keys only operate in the initial PV/SV window. |
| PRG lights up, RP or SK flashes. The active segment indicator lights up | |
| PRG, RP and SK light up. The active segment lamp lights up | |
| Go to the next segment, press | |
| Turn off all lamps that were used for program mode, press |
| See arrow |
The window checks the display after power-up.
