You "set" toggle switches. Set the Upmtifratz toggle switch to its ON or up
position. Set the Griboframiz switch to its OFF of down position.
**********************
Reminder: don't use "up" and "down" if the toggle switch is on a
helicopter, submarine, or other application with possible three-dimensional
characteristics. Sorry, and it isn't even Friday. I learned this one when
I wrote docs for a helicopter company. Up and down alternate between "not
applicable" and "totally bizarre" definitions.
Hi Dori,
I don't understand why you can't use "up" or "down" on helicopters or
submarines. I've been on both and they follow the same rules of physics that
everyone else does...up is toward the stars and down is toward the center of
the Earth. The only time this changes is if the chopper or sub are inverted
and they the problem is more involved than a switch setting.
