Using the Display/key Backlight
Your PSR-300 features a backlit keypad and display for easy viewing and use
in dark environments. There are three backlight modes you can choose from
to control backlight activation, Normal mode, Keypress mode, and first keypress
Ignore mode.
With Normal mode, simply press to activate the backlight. The backlight will
activate and remain on for the factory default setting of 5 seconds. The back-
light continues to remain on while you are operating the keypad. To turn off the
backlight before it automatically turns off, press again.
With Keypress mode, the backlight will light automatically when you press any
key on the keypad, and function as described above in Normal mode. This
mode is useful if you want the backlight to come on automatically when you
perform an operation using the keypad.
With Ignore mode, the backlight functions as described in Keypress mode,
except that the scanner ignores the first keypress. This mode is useful when
you wish to quickly illuminate the display and keypad without having to search
of the key. The first keypress is ignored, and the scanner sounds the low
pitched error beep to remind you that the first key pressed to activate the back-
light is ignored by the scanner.
