You can access to these two pages by pressing the ENTER button from the 'NORMAL
SKYVIEW SATELLITE' page in order to open the 'OPTIONS' window. From there you
can use the UP and DOWN buttons to highlight the page you want to access and press the
ENTER button.
Once you have finished working on one of these pages you can come back to the
'NORMAL SKYVIEW SATELLITE' page, pressing the
PAGE button again (Figure 14).
The 'DISPLAY' page
This page allows you to setup the back-light time out and the display contrast. The first
element may be useful for night reading and it is important to setup the contrast correctly
in order to insure a good reading of the information on the LCD screen.
When you arrive on this page the 'LIGHT TIMEOUT' field is highlighted and you can
make the scrolling menu by pressing the
ENTER button (Figure 15 a). Once you have
selected the desired time press the ENTER button to save the option. It is recommended
to choose 30 seconds as this option uses a lot of battery power.
You can then pass to the contrast option pressing the DOWN button. Once the contrast bar
is highlighted (Figure 15 b) press the ENTER button. You can then use the UP or DOWN
button to modify the contrast until you get an appropriate reading on the screen. Then press
the
ENTER button to save the setting.
