General Radio Operation
Light
If poor light conditions make the display, keypad, or channel numbers
(around the 16-Position Select knob) 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.
