Operation
Basic settings
The Setup menu where you can make the basic settings appears automatically after you insert the batteries. In normal operation, you get to the Setup Menu with the Setup button.
The most important settings are made in this menu. Each setting is saved without needing to confirm it, until such time as you make a modification. All settings in the Setup Menu are made using the Navigation Compass.
OK
Using the vertical pair of buttons (North/South) you select the menu. With the horizontal buttons (West/East) and the OK button, you change the corresponding menu setting. The small arrowhead on lefthand side of the display, indicates the current menu. Additionally, the position bar on the righthand side of the display gives you information about the location within the Setup Menu.
Contrast [Contrast]
The display contrast is already at the optimum setting when the unit leaves the factory. However, depending on the read angle, a different contrast value can give you a better result. The contrast value range goes from 1 (weak contrast) to 24 (strong contrast).
Background lighting [Backlight]
The brightness of the blue backlighting can be set in three levels from Low (dark), through Medium to High (bright). The backlighting is switched off completely with the Off option.
The brighter the backlighting, the shorter the working life of the batteries.
