You can even select AUTO SCROLL DOWN to select the time (in seconds) that your unit will display a screen of information before automatically moving to the next screen. (You can always override this function by using your UP and DOWN keys.) SCROLL SPEED allows you to adjust the speed of the right-to-left scrolling that takes place with long items on a menu. CONTRAST allows you to select the right contrast for reading in any light levels.

Using the ABC

Button

To jump through an alphabeti- cal list quickly by first letter, press the ABC button. “ABC MODE ON” will display on the screen for

one second. Then use the UP or DOWN buttons to proceed through the list by alphabetical first let- ter—A, B, C, etc. (Note that the list begins again with the letter “A” after you have scrolled through the “Z” listings. You can also use the UP key to scroll back- wards through the alphabet, from “Z” to “A.”)

When you reach the desired ini- tial letter, press ABC again to turn this mode off. “ABC MODE OFF” will display on the screen for one second. Then press the UP or DOWN button to scroll one line at a time, or hold either of these keys down to scroll quickly. Press ON/ENTER to confirm your choice.

Auto Power Off

If no key is pressed for five minutes, the unit will automati- cally turn off to spare your batter- ies. Press ON/ENTER and Sports Master will return to where it was before it was turned off.
