The DR4vr
is
relatively
easy
to operate,
and anyone
who
has
used

it
quite straightforward.
Sub
Menus

of
the
DR4vrlceys
provide
two
functions: a
main
function
and
a sub-menu
function.
The
main
function of these keys
is
printed
above
it
and
the
sub-menu
function
is
printed
below
it,
enclosed
in
a
dark box.
Some
sub-menu
keys provide
access
to functions,
some
to
variable
parameters.
To
access
a
sub-menu
function,
first
press the
SUB-MENU
key, then while
its
indicator
is
flashing, press the respective key.
Setting
Parameters

parameters can be
set
using
the

this

refer to the operating procedure
for
each
function.
