Tal y como ya se ha comentado, no se trata de un manual informático. Es decir, que el dispositivo podría ser utilizado por personas no muy familiarizadas con la terminología informática. Es posible que se encuentre buscando una tecla en la que esté escrita la palabra "Arriba" o "Abajo". Creo que es mejor dejarlo todo muy claro y utilizar la expresión "tecla de flecha arriba" y "tecla de flecha abajo". En cualquier caso, contar con toda la información no debería suponer un obstáculo.

Fernando, I did write that your answer was not incorrect. Now it's up to the Asker to decide whether he wants to slightly over-translate by over-explaining to the possible "dummy" (i.e. is this a manual for dummies?). This looks like a manual for professionals, but I might be wrong, as we only have a couple of source sentences here. Over-translating is over-translating, and sometimes it is not necessary, it depends on the readership that is aimed at...

I concur. In all of the programming manuals that I've come across, this is the most often-used terminology.

Maria, This is NOT a "programming manual"! So the word "key" ("tecla") is NOT implicit! It HAS to be mentioned! Please, answerers and commentators, READ THE CONTEXT before answering or commenting, thank you...

My comment:

Use las teclas de dirección "arriba" y "abajo". En este caso para aumentar o diminuir el valor de la lectura del tacómetro. El tacómetro es el indicador de vueltas o revoluciones de un motor o de cualquier otro dispositivo giratorio.

Fernando, Your answer is not incorrect, except that it can be shortened to "Use las teclas Arriba y Abajo para...", AS IN THE SOURCE TEXT. If you google "Use las teclas Arriba y Abajo para", you'll find many occurrences, including very reliable IBM hits: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Use+las+teclas+Arriba+y+Abajo+para&ia=web
