MOVE INTO A MENU SECTION by pressing the select
key or the right arrow key.
SET A VALUE, SELECT A FUNCTION, RESET A COUNTER
by pressing the select key.
RETURN TO A HIGHER LEVEL in the menu by pressing
the left arrow key or wait 15 seconds timeout to return to main display.
The navigation keys have direct functions in the main display:
Switch backlight on/o󰀨.
Mute/Unmute chirp and key buzzer. In warning condition,
acknowledges audio, vibration and LED signal.
DOSE Check accumulated dose,
press again to check time to dose alarm.
... User settable function key (with CSW-32 software). Not factory set.

MENU ITEM FUNCTION
OFF Switch the meter o󰀨.
DOSE Check and reset the current accumulated dose.
MaxDR Check and reset the maximum recorded dose rate since last reset.
CHIRP Adjust the sensitivity of the visual and audible pulse indication or
switch them ON/OFF.
ALARM Check and change the dose rate and dose alarm levels and
choose alarm mode single, dual or o󰀨.
