Contrast Adjustment Mode
The LCD contrast can be adjusted by entering the Contrast Adjustment Mode. This mode is
entered by holding down the button on the front panel for approximately 3 seconds.
Once in Contrast Adjustment Mode, pressing the button will lighten the contrast and decrease
the contrast by one level. There are five different contrast levels, and the LCD will cycle from
the darkest to the lightest if the button is pressed when on the lightest setting.
To exit the Contrast Adjustment Mode, hold down the button on the front panel for
approximately 3 seconds again. The button will return to normal operation after this.
