9.1 General
9.1.1
Operation of the optical buttons
An optical button is located at each corner of the TFT display. The operability of
the respective buttons is signaled by blue backlighting; therefore non-backlit
buttons are disabled and cannot be operated. To operate the keys, the finger must
be placed on the key-dome and raised again. The orange background of the button
symbols is briefly displayed in blue as visual feedback for a detected key press.
To avoid accidental operation in measuring mode, the operator must hold down
the menu button for 3-5 seconds to activate the function. If the menu button is held
down for more than 3 seconds, the blue backlighting will begin to flash to alert the
user to release the button.
The operation of the optical buttons can also be done with gloves or other optically
reflective objects, light dirt on the surface usually does not interfere with the key
function.
