There in lays your problem. The method of getting input varies by BIOS 
maker and version. Does the PDF manual have screen captures of the BIOS 
screen? If so, enlarge the page and look closely at the bottom for a 
legend of navigation keys. I've got two motherboard manuals that have 
Phoenix BIOS overviews and both have slightly different navigation keys. 
The older one suggests using PgUp and PgDown to select values, but also 
has +/- listed on the bottom in its navigation legend. The newer manual 
just has +/- listed in the legend.
