Use the Hand-Held Device
The remaining keys on the AR5000 keypad work in much the
same way as a standard typewriter keyboard. You can use
these keys to enter alpha/numeric information or to navigate
around the screens and menus as described in the various
sections of this guide.
About the Meter Display
Typically, you will not need to make any adjustments related
to the screen. However, you can adjust the display’s contrast
and backlight to your preferences (see
Adjust the Display on
page 1-13). In addition, you can set the size and style for the
display font (see
Change the Display Font & Size on
page 1-11).

system’s high-contrast Liquid crystal display screen. This
monochrome display has a 4.1” diagonal viewing area, is
shock-mounted, sealed, and equipped with a heater for cold
weather operation.
