The best way to get familiar with your Buddy is to power-up in demo mode
and start pressing buttons. You won’t hurt anything by doing so, but you
may lose or mess-up some settings. Don’t worry. Your Buddy has a reset
feature that restores everything back to factory settings.

MENU button
The Menu button is used to set and adjust all of the Buddy’s features.
When you press this button, a menu will be displayed at the bottom of the
screen. To get to more feature menus, keep pressing the menu button. If
you go past the last feature, the menu will be removed from the screen.
When a menu is displayed, press the

buttons to change the setting.
Then, press the
button to accept the new setting, or press the
button to
escape with no changes. Pressing the
or

from the screen.
CONTRAST –
Contrast is the darkness or lightness of the display. Both your
viewing angle and the ambient temperature affect the contrast.
Operation: Press the Menu button until
CONTRAST
appears. Use the
and
buttons to adjust the contrast, then press
to clear the menu.
Caution:
Facing the screen toward the sun for extended periods may
cause the display to reach its upper temperature limit and become
black.
If this occurs and you cannot adjust it lighter,
immediately
cover
the screen or turn it away from the sun.
LIGHT –
The Buddy has an adjustable display backlight. To conserve battery
life, you should use the backlight only when it is really needed.
Operation: Press the Menu button until
LIGHT
appears. Use the
and
buttons to adjust the light, then press the
button to clear the menu.
This blinking symbol in the upper-left corner of the display will
remind you that the light is on.
