POOR TIMING WHILE SENDING, I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 10 WPM.  ON THE MAIN
SCREEN, I PRESSED THE RED BUTTON, AND WHEN SETTINGS WAS DISPLAYED, I SAW
THE SETTINGS MENU ON THE TOP LCD AND MULTIPLE OPTIONS ON THE BOTTOM,
INCLUDING WPM, TIMING, CHARS, AND SIDETONE.  ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS AN
ABOUT SECTION THAT SHOWS THE VERSION NUMBER.  THE FINAL OPTION WITHIN THE
SETTINGS MENU IS CANCEL, WHICH SENDS YOU BACK TO THE MAIN MENU.  TO ACCESS
ANY OF THESE OPTIONS, TAP THE RED BUTTON DURING THE 2 SECONDS THAT OPTION
IS DISPLAYING.  THE OPTIONS ARE 5 TO 40 WPM IN 5 WPM INCREMENTS.  AFTER YOU
CHANGE THE SPEED BY PRESSING THE RED SIDE BUTTON, THE UNIT SAVES THE
SETTINGS AND TAKES THE USER BACK TO THE MAIN MENU.  I RETURNED TO THE
SETTINGS MENU AND SELECTED TIMING MODE.  THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPTIONS IN
TIMING MODE NORMAL, FARNSWORTH 18, AND FARNSWORTH 25.  THE FARNSWORTH
METHOD IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO LEARN MORSE CODE.
IT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO RECOGNIZE THE PATTERNS OF MORSE CODE CHARACTERS AT
A HIGHER SPEED, WHICH MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO SEND AND RECEIVE MORSE
CODE QUICKLY LATER ON.  I CHOSE TO STAY WITH THE DEFAULT METHOD, NORMAL.
