  My experience, with other monitors, is that the references are to
the same buttons that, in different contexts, have different functions,
but are poorly (or not at all) labeled for the other purposes.  I've had
to just try different buttons and empirically determine and document
for myself which button is to be used for which functions.  There has
been some consistency in the secondary functions -- across upper
level contexts -- so the labeling doesn't get too recursively deep.
