Transmission Mode
Use the transmission mode (labeled “mode” on the overlay)
to put the radio terminal into line edit (block) mode or char-
acter mode. To alternate between modes, press
[BLACK]+[Y]. The modes are described on pages 8-55 and
8-56 in Section 8, “Programming.”
When “lock mode” is disabled through the firmware menus,
you can press the mode key to toggle between line edit
mode and character mode. When lock mode is enabled, you
cannot toggle between line edit (block) mode and character
mode. The default setting is “disabled.”
Local Edit Mode
If your application software program supports local editing
you can use the radio terminal in local edit mode, which is a
feature of the VT330/ VT340 terminal. Local edit mode is
described on page 8-62 in Section 8.
Backlight
Use the backlight to read the radio terminal’s display in
dim light. To turn the light on, press [GOLD]+[0] (zero). To
turn it off, press [GOLD]+[0] again.
You can use the firmware’s setup menus to set the length of
time the backlight stays on before the radio terminal’s back-
light “goes to sleep” to conserve power. Refer to the radio
terminal’s user’s guide for more information about back-
lighting.

NOTE: The longer the backlight stays on, the sooner the battery will need to
be recharged.
