5 Status
Menu screen
Use the ^ and v keys to select Status item from the main menu and press ENTER.
This will bring up a list of status reports; this menu shows what’s happening, rather than what can be changed or input. The list includes features such as device details (e.g. serial number), signal and battery strength, last sync times, and other statuses only required by HyDip for trouble shooting.
These status values usually appear in groups of four on the four-line display. Use the up and down arrows to navigate them all.
The first four status values appear as:
