Figure 56. Display Settings 

In this submenu, the following parameters can be set:

  

Screen angle 

Rotate the text on the ColorFlex EZ Citrus screen so that it may be easily read from either side 
of the instrument. 0° keeps the text in its normal position and 180° flips the text upside down. 
Please note that the functions of the buttons also rotate when the screen text rotates (i.e., 
what was previously the up arrow will become the down arrow if the text is flipped upside 
down). Each press of the 

RIGHT ARROW

 button increases the displayed value 180°. 

Figure 57. Screen Angle

RIGHT ARROW

 

button to increase the brightness of the LCD’s backlight or the left 

arrow button to decrease the brightness. Values between 0 and 100 may be selected in 
increments of 5.
