Menu Navigation - Using Menu Keys

Key-in 4567 to access the Engineer Mode. This will need to be validated with a User Code. To do this, key-in a valid User Code i.e. 1111 (or 1234 in the UK). You are now in the Service Menu.

This section illustrates how to move around the menu structure in the SW-10270 control panel. There are five menu keys used for menu navigation. The following diagram describes their functions.

Image Description

Photo of the SW-10270 Remote Keypad with menu key callout labels. The keypad has a 4x4 grid of numeric keys (1-9, 0, *, #) plus four function keys (PLAY/QUIT, REC/YES, LIGHT/NO). Five menu navigation keys are highlighted with callout boxes:

  • QUIT (PLAY/QUIT key, top-right): Used to exit a menu.
  • YES (REC/YES key, middle-right): Used to enter a menu. Also used to enable an option.
  • NO (LIGHT/NO key, bottom-right): Used to disable an option.
  • NEXT (# key, bottom-right of number pad): Used to move to the NEXT item in a menu.
  • PREV (* key, bottom-left of number pad): Used to move to the PREVIOUS item in a menu.

The numeric keys are labeled with their text characters: 1/txt, 2/abc, 3/def, 4/ghi, 5/jkl, 6/mno, 7/pqrs, 8/tuv, 9/wxyz, 0/space.
