- Short press: Close the open menu, or turn the screen off when no menu is open.
- Reset button (right):
- Short press: Reset the device.
- User button (middle):
- Short press: Move to the next screen. With a menu open, move to the next item.
- Hold about half a second: Open the menu for the current screen. With a menu open, activate the highlighted item.
