General Operation 21
Action
Sometimes function keys perform an action. For instance, in most measurement
screens, [F5] levels the sound chamber. By looking at the label of the function
key, you should be able to determine the action of the function key.

2.1.2 Using the Local Menus
Each screen contains a local menu that is displayed when you press the
[MENU] key.The local menu, overlaid on the current screen, contains only set-
tings that pertain to that screen. See Figure 2.1.3. For example, the local menu
of a real-ear measurement screen will contain a selection for OUTPUT LIMIT.
This setting does not pertain to coupler measurements, so you won’t find that
particular item in the local menu of a coupler screen.
In order for the FP35 to be highly configurable for the advanced user, yet easy to
operate for the beginner user, we divided the local menus into several different
sections. In most cases, these are: the menu, the advanced menu, and the cus-
tom menu.
When the [MENU] key is first pressed (in a screen other than the Opening
screen), the basic local menu is displayed. This basic menu contains the selec-
tions most important to the displayed screen. Advanced users can open the
advanced and custom menus by using the [NEXT] and [BACK] keys.
