Using the Software Menu System
The Menu System operates as follows:
1. All selections must be followed by [RETURN].
2. To make a selection from any menu, enter the option number at the prompt
and press [RETURN].
3. To exit any menu without making a selection, press [ESC] followed by
[RETURN].
You can also exit by just pressing [RETURN]. However, doing this in the
Store Phone Number Menu will clear the buffer of the currently stored
number.
