How to punctuate a series inside a series?

The following is the sentence:

"By the end of the first day you should know the following things, the three modes: normal, insert and visual, how to save, how to quit, how to quit without saving."

How do punctuate the phrase "the three modes: normal, insert and visual" in this series?
