When power is applied to the VCA the display defaults to the Main Menu page, shown in Figure 11. The backlight will
turn on and remain active for 5 minutes after the last key press. Pressing any of the 7 keys will turn the backlight on.
If not on the Main Menu page, the display will return back to the Main Menu page if no key is pressed for 5 minutes
