5.16  Z-MODE SETTING (SUPPORTED FROM C1.9A) 
5.16.1  Outline of the Z-Mode 
The Z-Mode is a feature intended for enabling much easier start-up of the BASIC program.    Although 
the Z-Mode is similar to the BASIC setting menu, it contains only two functions: Enabling or disabling the 
BASIC program and starting the BASIC system mode program.     
The display and the procedure are different, but “Z-MODE ON” equals to “BASIC ON” and they are 
linked with each other.   
 
 
5.16.2  Operation Example of Z-Mode Setting
