Beyond the Basics

With Ignore mode, the backlight functions as described in Keypress mode, except that the scanner ignores the first keypress. This mode is useful when you wish to quickly illuminate the display and keypad without having to search for the key. The first keypress is ignored, and the scanner sounds the low pitched error beep to remind you that the first key pressed to activate the backlight is ignored by the scanner.

In any backlight mode, you can press and hold for about 1 second to force the backlight on full time. Press while the backlight is on to turn it off.

Follow these steps to change the backlight mode and duration:

1.If the scanner is on, turn it off and back on again. Multi- System Trunking Scanner appears in the scanner’s display.

2.While Multi-System Trunking Scanner appears, press .

3.Press e or d to select the desired backlight mode and duration. Selecting 3, 5, 10, or 20 sets the backlight mode for normal operation for the selected duration. Selecting K3, K5, K10, or K20 sets the backlight mode for Keypress operation for the selected duration. Selecting I3, I5, I10, or I20 sets the backlight mode for Ignore operation for the selected duration. Press ENT to store your selection.
