HANDHELD DISPLAY OPTIONS
Display Setup: The display Setup controls the look
of the handheld unit and the Firmware version.
The Atomic LS can be reset to factory default
in this section as well (Figure 29).
LCD Contrast: Adjust the contrast on the LCD screen
if it is hard to see the display. Contrast is
adjusted using the joystick to go up or down
in five percentage increments.
Backlight Level: The brightness of the screen is
determined by this setting. The Backlight
Level may need to be adjusted depending
on outside light levels. Brightness is adjusted
using the joystick to go up or down in five
percentage increments. (Figure 29).
Display Units: The Atomic can display items in either
English (cubic inches, Fahrenheit) or Metric
(liters, Celsius). Set Atomic Defaults: Use this
feature to reset the Atomic EFI. Selecting “YES” on this screen will take all setting, including
fuel maps, back to the factory defaults. This can be done when installing the Atomic on a
different engine, or for troubleshooting reasons (Figure 29).
Firmware Versions: The Atomic Firmware version can be found in this section (Figure 29).
