Four navigation keys are located on the lower half of the MATE3s. They are protected by the front cover when it is
in place. The navigation keys allow the user to move around within the menu structure. They also provide access
to the Main Menu programming and the various components connected to the HUB.

From the Main Menu, the TOP or LOCK keys return the operator to the Home screen.
o The UP navigation key (B) returns to the menu item on the previous screen that was used to access the current screen.
It moves up, or back, one screen in the menu map for the selected device. See the MATE3s Menu Map.

access to the Enter Password screen. (See page 2.)
