General Radio Operation
Display
This figure is typical of what you see on your radio. The 64 x 96 pixel
liquid crystal display (LCD) shows radio status, text, and menu
entries.
Backlight
If poor light conditions make the display and keypad difficult to read,
turn on the radio’s backlights by pressing the preprogrammed Light
button.
These lights will remain on for a preprogrammed time before they turn
off automatically, or you can turn them off immediately by pressing the
Light button again.
