Arrow keys to navigate the Snapshot list.

shot list. Snapshot numbers and names appear in the displays
above the Select knob.

You can target a snapshot before recalling it, and change the
scope of what is recalled, or recall the entire contents of the
snapshot. You can also recall successive snapshots instantly.

mance.
