Display Customization

Display Lamp Mode

The FT-857 illumination lamp has four options for activation of the illumination.

To set up the Lamp mode:

1. Press and hold in the [F] button for one second to activate the Menu mode.

2. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to select Menu Mode No-044 [DISP MODE].

3. Rotate the DIAL knob select the desired mode. Available selections are:

OFF:

Disables the LCD illumination.

AUTO1:

Illuminates the LCD for three seconds when any button is pressed, or if you rotate the MEM/VFO CH

knob.

AUTO2:

Illuminates the LCD continuously while the FT-857 is operating on an external power supply. When

using the FNB-78 internal battery in the AUTO2 mode, the LCD will light up for three seconds when

any button is pressed, or if you rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob (identical to AUTO1 mode).

ON:

Illuminates the LCD continuously.

4. When you have completed your selection, press and hold in the [F] button for one second to exit the

Menu mode.

Display Contrast

The LCD’s contrast may be adjusted using the Menu Mode, as well.

1. Press and hold in the [F] button for one second to activate the Menu mode.

2. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to select Menu Mode No-042 [DISP CONTRAST].

3. Rotate the DIAL knob to adjust the contrast. As you make the adjustment, you will be able to see the effects of you

changes.

4. When you have completed the adjustment, press and hold in the [F] button for one second to exit the Menu mode.

Display Dimmer

The LCD illumination may also be adjusted using the Menu Mode.

1. Press and hold in the [F] button for one second to activate the Menu mode.

2. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to select Menu Mode No-043 [DISP INTENSITY].

3. Rotate the DIAL knob to adjust the display illumination for a comfortable brightness level. As you make the

adjustment, you will be able to see the effects of you changes.

4. When you have completed the adjustment, press and hold in the [F] button for one second to exit the Menu mode.
