SALT LEVEL BUTTON
For the “Low salt” indicator to work, whenever you add salt to the softener, you must reset the salt level indicator on the display to match the new level of salt in the tank. A decal on the brinewell shows numbers up to 8, corresponding to the numbers on the display. Each press of the SALT LEVEL button (See Figure 20) makes the level indicated on the display go up by one. A “Low salt” message will flash on the display (See Figure 21) whenever the level is 2 or below.
Low salt level is indicated

TANK LIGHT
Touching the screen anywhere will turn on the light in the softener’s brine tank. The light will turn off again automatically after 4 minutes.
FLASHING BACKLIGHT
The softener’s display is backlit to make it easy to read. The contrast may be adjusted, as described on Page 14. The backlight will flash on and off when one or more of the following conditions occurs: =Salt needs to be added
=Time has been lost, perhaps after a long power loss (The Set Time screen will be displayed instead of the status screen)
=Error condition (Service is required) The flashing will stop after any key is pressed. However, it will start again at Midnight if the underly- ing condition (e.g. low salt level) has not been addressed.
ALERTS & REMINDERS
Normally, the current time is the only thing displayed along the top right portion of the screen. A flashing message, like the one shown in Figure 21, will be dis- played instead if one of the following conditions occurs:
=Low salt indicates that salt needs to be added (See Page 23) and the salt level indicator reset (See “Salt Level Button”, above). This message appears whenever the salt level is 2 or below. =Error (Service is required)
