On the TNC7 the operating modes of the control are allocated differently than on the TNC 640. For reasons of compatibility and to facilitate ease of operation, the keys on the keyboard unit remain the same. Keep in mind that particular keys no longer activate a change of operating modes but, for example, instead activate a toggle switch.
