items in the menu. Except for MENU GRADE, the actual
setting items are found on the second or third level.
Setting items are divided into basic items, which are
needed for normal operations, and enhanced items, which
are needed for enhanced operations. In the figures, basic
items are shown in bold characters.
When the unit is shipped from the factory, the setup menu
is configured to display basic items only. To display

GRADE item.
