Each also has an LED which illuminates to show which choice is

Automatic Lockout
To prevent accidental activation, all
function buttons and keypad keys become locked out after
approximately 30 seconds of inactivity. This time period is fixed
and not selectable by the user.
This time period is also independent of the Backlight Delay
setting, which controls how long the display backlight stays on
before automatically turning off. The Backlight Delay is set under
the Configuration menu.
To unlock the buttons and keys, press any button or key once.
Then press the desired button or key to make your selection.
