This is for the 2014 Manual NOT the 2024 manual.
Go to Navigator Pro for 2024 manual.


Please read.
It is often best to use the ‘find on page’ search function that is on your desktop, tablet or phone. Where to find this is listed below.
The BBN Manual page has a built in Search Box.
It does not work like Google.
To use this box successfully, think about what you are searching for before typing.
Be specific and watch your spelling. The search box doesn’t know how to spell, it will only look for what you type in. If you spell the word wrong the search box will not find the correct word for you.
Use one word identifiers. For instance, if you have knee pain, don’t look for knee pain as it will only search for those two words knee + pain together. The Search box will only look for two words that are adjacent to one another. It will not look for ‘knee elim pain’. Best to type in knee and arrow through the pages where the word Knee appears.
The Search box will tell you how many matches there are to the word you typed in. Use the arrow up/down to scan through the matches to find what you need.

If you want to search a specific Category, search for the page number for that Category. For example, if you want to go directly to the Enzyme Function Category on page 69 type in Pg 69 and it will bring you to that Category. Don’t type in PAGE 69. Use only the format Pg 69. Always use the abbreviation for page which is Pg then space and then Pg number..
