Pressing the “Shift” key + “Multi-Screen” key allows switching between single and multi-screen views.
4.Language Switching
When bilingual functionality is active, pressing the “Shift” key + “Area” key can switch languages.
5.Returning to the Program Screen
When there are CALL commands, task commands, or input/output commands in the program, moving the cursor to the command line and pressing the “Direct Open” key will display content related to that command. Pressing the “Shift” key + “Direct Open” key will return to the program interface before direct opening.

When the teaching pendant screen displays operation keys, pressing the “Area” key + “↓” key can move the cursor from the general display area to the operation key area; pressing the “Area” key + “↑” key can move the cursor from the operation key area back to the general display area. This combination key function is very practical on teaching pendants with touch screens that are not functioning properly.
