Display Submenu
The final option on the top level menu is Display. Select this and press → :
Bright adjusts the brightness of the display backlight and Contrast adjusts the LCD display contrast. These should be set for optimum readability. The length of the solid bars indicate the setting of each parameter - there are 27 levels for each.
To adjust the brightness, select Bright and press Set. The cursor will change to
the 
symbol. Set the required brightness with the rotary control then press Set again to exit adjustment mode. The Contrast is adjusted in a similar manner.
OOPS! It is possible to turn the contrast to such a low setting that it is very difficult to read the display. If this happens and the menu level is changed, you may not be able to see the display well enough to navigate to the Display menu and increase the contrast to readable level. To recover from this you can Recall a stored setup known to have a higher contrast setting (see the next section). If the worst happens and none are available, switch off the unit then hold down the Status button while switching on. The unit will display Using Default Settings and will load a setup with high contrast.
The third option (Cursor) controls the way the cursor responds to turning the encoder. The default setting is the cursor moves down if the encoder is turned clockwise. If you prefer the opposite arrangement, move the cursor to the bottom line and press Set. “Clockwise = Down” changes to “Clockwise = Up”. Pressing Set again change back.
The fourth option determines the time after which the display backlight goes out. The backlight is an electroluminescent device, and so in theory has limited life. It can also buzz a little, and although we select for low buzz, and acoustically damp it, it can be irritating. So – the display goes dark after a preset period, although pressing any button or turning the knob will wake it up again. When the cursor is against the Backlight Off After option, each time you press Set it steps through the settings 1 min, 3 min and 5 min.
