Backlight Timer:
This option allows the user to
select the backlight timeout for the system. If the
unit is inactive for the amount of time given by this
timer (meaning no keypress or rotary switch events),
the screen backlight will be turned off to conserve
battery power. (Note that the screen will still be on;
only the backlight is affected). The backlight timer
can be configured from 5 to 60 seconds by using
the left (
4
) and right (
6
) buttons. The default setting
is 5 seconds. The backlight timer can be disabled
by turning the backlight either on or off through the
Display menu.
•
Date Format:
This option allows the user to select
the display format for the date. The two options
available are “MMDDYYYY” (Month/Day/Year) or
“DDMMYYYY” (Day/Month/Year) and can be selected
by using the left (
4
) and right (
6
) buttons. The default
setting is Month/Day/Year.
