Using the Display Backlight
Your PRO-96 features a backlit keypad and display for easy viewing and use in dark
environments. There are three backlight modes you can choose from to control backlight
activation, Normal mode, Keypress mode, and first keypress Ignore mode.
With Normal mode, simply press the LIGHT key to activate the backlight. The backlight
will activate and remain on for the factory default setting of 5 seconds. The backlight
continues to remain on while you are operating the keypad. To turn off the backlight
before it automatically turns off, press LIGHT again.
With Keypress mode, the backlight will light automatically when you press any key on the
keypad, and function as described above in Normal mode. This mode is useful if you
want the backlight to come on automatically when you perform an operation using the
keypad.
With Ignore mode, the backlight functions as described in Keypress mode, except that
the scanner ignores the first keypress. This mode is useful when you wish to quickly
illuminate the display and keypad without having to search for the LIGHT key. The first
keypress is ignored, and the scanner sounds the low pitched error beep to remind you
that the first key pressed to activate the backlight is ignored by the scanner.
In any backlight mode, you can press and hold LIGHT for about 1 second to force the
backlight on full time. Press LIGHT while the backlight is on to turn it off.
Follow these steps to change the backlight mode and duration:
1. If the scanner is on, turn it off and back on again. Welcome To Digital Trunking
appears in the scanner’s display.
2. While Welcome To Digital Trunking appears, press LIGHT.
3. Press π or θ to select the desired backlight mode and duration. Selecting 3, 5, 10 or
20 sets the backlight mode for normal operation for the selected duration. Selecting
K3, K5, K10 or K20 sets the backlight mode for Keypress operation for the selected
duration. Selecting I3, I5, I10 or I20 sets the backlight mode for Ignore operation for
the selected duration. Press ENTER to store your selection.
