The function keys described below are used basically to switch machine functions on and
off.
Each time a key is pressed, this must be confirmed by at least one beep tone. Irrespective
of the machine mode a double beep signal is given if invalid keys are pressed or maximum
values reached.
If a corresponding value has to be set for the activated function, this is carried out with the
corresponding +/- key . By pressing and holding the corresponding +/- key, the relevant
numerical value 4 is changed slowly to begin with. If the corresponding +/- key is held down
longer, the values change more quickly.
