Quickstart - BBE DS24 User And Reference Manual

NOTE:
The button to press will be shown in ALL CAPITALS. For QUICK START, a number following in
parentheses (#) will also be included. These refer to the same names and numbers as shown
in Figure 1, Front Panel Controls and Indicators. The expected display text is shown in "quo-
tation marks". If you press a button and the display does not change, it means that the but-
ton has no effect for that particular menu item.
If you get to a certain point in the menu and want to go back, but cannot, press QUIT (5) and
begin the steps again. This is normal for the unit.
