move it.

manual makes reference to [INST] - [F2 (EDIT)], press [INST],
and then press [F2] (in this case, "EDIT" is displayed above

Changing Data Values

fig.00-004_40
[+] and [-] (referred to in this manual as [+/-]) and the
[VALUE] dial are both used to change the values of settings.
Both methods have advantages.
[+/-]
• Each time [+] is pressed, the value increases. Each time [-]
is pressed, the value decreases. This is convenient for fine
adjustments.
• When making an on/off setting, [+] will turn the setting
on and [-] will turn it off.
• If you hold down [+] and press [-], the value will increase
rapidly. If you hold down [-] and press [+], the value will
decrease rapidly.
[VALUE] dial
The dial allows you to make major changes to the value
quickly. If you hold down [SHIFT] and turn [VALUE], the
value will change even more rapidly.
