Using the LCD panel

You can configure the LCD panel to meet your needs. The following section 
describes how to perform a number of tasks with the LCD panel:

• Pause on a screen

• Access the LCD menus

• Power up the unit

• Halt the unit

• Power down the unit

• Reboot the unit

• Clear alerts

Pausing on a screen

Normally, the screens cycle on the LCD at a constant rate. However, you 
can push the Check button to toggle the LCD between Hold and Rotate 
modes. In Hold mode, a single screen is displayed. The Rotate mode 
changes the screen displayed on the LCD every 4 seconds.

Accessing LCD menus

Press the 

X

 button to put the LCD panel in Menu mode so you can access 

the menus. The buttons Left Arrow, Right Arrow, Up Arrow, and Down 
Arrow are only functional when the LCD is in Menu mode. For more 
information about using the LCD menus, see 

Navigating through the LCD 

menus

, on page 3-4.

Powering up the unit

When you want to power up a unit that is shut down, press the Check button 
to turn the power on. 

Halting the unit

We recommend you halt the unit before you power it down or reboot it 
using the LCD menu options. 

To halt the unit

1. Press the 

X

 button, then use the arrow keys to navigate to the 

System menu. 

2. Press the Check button. Navigate to the Halt menu.
