In addition, the front panel contains a light-level sensor that samples ambient light levels for automatic
display and button backlight brightness adjustments. In other words, it automatically brightens the display
and backlights when higher external light levels exist and it automatically dims the display and backlights
during lower external light levels.
Button function may vary depending upon system programming, radio hardware, and
optional configurations. Complete the table in APPENDIX A if the keys have been
remapped to provide new functions.
