Naming the slot

The final step in setting up a slot is to give it a name.  On the 

Slot Name

 screen (see Figure 6) you can 

enter the name using the keys on the keypad similar to how you enter words on a mobile phone.  Press a 
key on the keypad multiple times to cycle through the letters and number on that key, press 

#

 to go to the 

next character position or 

*

 to go to the previous character position.

Figure 6: Slot naming screen

For example, if we want to name this slot “BAR” for Browning Automatic Rifle, we would press 

2-2-

#-2-#-7-7

.  When the name is what you want, press 

#

 to move past any remaining character 

positions.  The slot will then be saved and you will be returned to the 

Main Menu

.

Slot memory is held indefinitely, even with a dead battery.
