Shift Function Keys

The [SHIFT] key is located in the bottom right corner of the numeric keys.
This key is used to access a second set of functions in conjunction with other keys on the keypad.
Keys that are used with the [SHIFT] key have two labels, one at the bottom and one in the center
of the key. The standard, un-shifted function of the key is listed in the center of the key in black
lettering. The shifted function of the key is shown at the bottom of the key in white lettering that
matches the white lettering of the [SHIFT] key, to identify that they are used together.
When the drive prompts you for a numerical value, e.g. during entry of the security access code
or parameter modification, the [SHIFT] function of numerical keys 1 to 6 changes from Speed
Menu functions to hexadecimal numbers A to F respectively. Refer to Table Hexadecimal digit
assignments on the keypad for more information.
