7. NAVIGATION Block

The keys and knob in the NAVIGATION block are used to navigate between softkey
menus, tables (limit table, segment table, etc.), or a selected (highlighted) area in a dialog
box, or to change a numeric value in the data entry area by stepping up or down. When
selecting one of two or more objects (softkey menus, data entry areas, etc.) to manipulate
with the NAVIGATION block keys displayed on the screen, first press the
the "8. ENTRY Block" on page 30 to select the object to be manipulated (focus on the
object) and then manipulate the NAVIGATION block keys (knob) to move your selection
