(3) The navigation wheel

Turn the navigation wheel to scroll to a menu option or to change the value of the
selected numeric parameter. Pressing the navigation wheel has the same functionality
as pressing the ENTER key.
When changing a multiple character value, such as an IP address or channel pattern
name, press the navigation wheel to enter edit mode, rotate the navigation wheel to
change the characters value as needed, but do not leave edit mode. Use the CURSOR
keys to scroll to the other characters and use the navigation wheel to change their value
as needed. Press the ENTER key when finished changing all the characters.
