DISPLAY CONTRAST

The contrast of the Liquid Crystal Display may adjusted for best readability.

1)Press and hold the DISPLAY/SOURCE/READ push-button while turning the 830-KP on to adjust the contrast of the display.

2)Press any UP or DOWN key until the display is most legible.

3)Press the STORE/RESET push-button or wait five seconds for your selection to be stored.

DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING

The LCD may have too little contrast where the lighting is dim or the 830-KP is in shadow. Turn on the LCD backlighting to make the display easy to read.
