Using the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The 2 line, 8 character-per-line LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
shows status and activity as the remote buttons are pressed. It
features user adjustable backlighting and contrast. Changes
are saved in the remote current working memory. When the
unit is turned on after being powered down, the last settings
for contrast and backlighting are used for the display.

Backlighting consumes the most energy of all Handheld
Remote functions. Increasing the backlighting increases
power consumption and will shorten the life span of the
batteries; the lower the backlighting, the longer the battery
life span.
Understanding the Remote Status LED
The remote status LED blinks slowly at 2 Hz (twice per
second) when the handheld remote is transmitting but no
buttons are being pressed, when the floor and option buttons
active. When you press a button, the light will blink at 10 Hz.
Replacing the Remote Batteries
The handheld remote is powered by 4, AA Alkaline batteries
(1.5 V each) and operates between 2.4 to 3.2 V. Battery life
is approximately 300 hours (continuous operation with the
backlight off), but battery life longevity is affected by usage
factors, particularly backlight intensity setting—the higher
the backlight setting, the more power consumed resulting
in shorter battery life.
Important:
Keep fresh spare batteries at hand at all
times that the system is in use.
