5.2.5 Backlight Timeout
The Backlight Timeout sets the amount of time that the gage must
remain dormant (the period between the time that the last key was
pressed or a new measurement was updated to the display and the time
that the backlight timed out) before the backlight turns itself off. This
function is designed to conserve battery life and the overall life of the
Backlight. The user can select from 1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. If the
Backlight turns itself off, the user can turn the Backlight back on by
moving the target ball and updating a new measurement or by pressing
any key. By default, the Backlight Timeout is set to 15 minutes and
will reset to 15 minutes after performing a Measurement or Master
Reset.
5.2.6 Backlight
The Backlight function can be turned ON or OFF. When the Backlight
is ON, gage display and overall visibility improves. When the
Backlight is OFF, the function is disabled. By default, the Backlight is
turned ON and will be turned ON after performing a Measurement or
Master Reset.
5.2.7 Display Contrast
The gage displays black text on a gray background. The user can
control the contrast of the display by adjusting the Contrast between 10
and 62, where 10 is very bright and 62 is very dark. The user should
adjust the contrast to suit the lighting conditions in which the gage will
be used.
