Pressing
{
}
switches the brightness level of the backlight in conjunction with the ON/OFF status of the
reticle illumination/key backlight.
When the instrument is powered ON the brightness level is set to "Backlight (Normal)". "Backlight
(Normal)" was set to a higher brightness level than "Backlight (Reticle ON)" when the instrument was
shipped but these values can be modified according to user preferences.
• When "Backlight (Normal)" is set to "Auto" the instrument light sensor gauges the level of ambient
brightness and automatically sets backlight brightness accordingly. Depending on ambient light
conditions, performance of this function may be sub-optimal, or the display may flicker between
brightness settings.
Backlight Off
To save power, the backlight will be turned off if the instrument is not operated for the selected time.
However, the backlight will not be turned off when "Backlight (Reticle)" is selected.
Key backlight
The key backlight can be set to "ON" or "OFF". When "key backlight" is set to "ON", the key backlight is lit
/OFF in conjunction with pressing
{
}
.
Color setting
Set "Color" to "2" (monochrome) when strong sunlight reduces visibility of the display. When "Auto" is
selected, the instrument detects the ambient brightness level and automatically sets the appropriate color
setting accordingly.
• Do not block the instrument light sensor when "Color" is set to "Auto". The instrument will be unable to
gauge ambient brightness and the display will flicker as a result.
Power-saving mode
When "Power-saving mode" is set to "ON", the display unit which is not operated is switched the light off
to save power.
