USING THE HOT KEY
The Hot Key menu is a user-definable menu that can hold up to 20 options of
your most frequently performed tasks.
Figure 1-34 shows a typical Hot Key menu with four added options. The first
option, Range values, is permanent and cannot be changed. It provides
quick access to review or modify the device range values.
To use the Hot Key, you must properly connect the HART Communicator to a
device. You can access the Hot Key menu from any menu, or before
powering up the Communicator, by simply pressing the Hot Key.
To use the Hot Key menu:
1. Connect the HART Communicator to a HART-compatible device.
2. Press the Hot Key.
3. Initially, the Hot Key menu displays with only Range values listed. Refer to
Customizing the Hot Key Menu on page 1-31 for details on how to add
options. The figure below shows some added options.
4. Select the desired option from the Hot Key menu.

menu for a particular device, that device does not support Hot Key
functionality.
