20 ADL Vantage/ADL Vantage Pro/ADL Vantage 35
User interface
The user interface includes three LEDs, an On/Off button, a two-row LCD display, four
scrolling buttons marked with arrows, and a central
Enter button:
The LCD has a backlight that stays on for 20 seconds. The backlight must be on for the
Enter or arrow buttons to function. If the backlight is off, pressing any button turns it
on. To have the backlight stay on, click the Advanced button on the ADLCONF Serial
Interface screen and clear the Turn off radio LCD backlight after 20 seconds check box. Click
the ADLCONF Program button to program the radio with this change.
To save power, the LCD and keypad on the ADL Vantage Pro will automatically go into
sleep mode 5 minutes after the last keystroke (except while the radio is being configured
by ADLCONF). All other features, including the transmitter and LEDs, will continue
to function normally. To wake up the LCD and keypad, press the On/Off button for one
second. To turn the ADL Vantage Pro off when its LCD and keypad are in sleep mode,
depress the On/Off button for 5 seconds or remove the power cable.
The LCD displays information that is determined in any of five different ways:
• Settings such as the serial number and model number are written in the factory
• The battery status, signal strength, and error codes are constantly monitored by the
radio firmware
• The channel tables (including frequency and bandwidth) and maximum transmit
power are determined by your dealer
• Everything else can be set by you using the ADLCONF software
In addition, you can configure many radio settings using the buttons on the front panel
and the LCD. The top rows of the LCD display the name of the currently selected radio
configuration function. The bottom LCD rows display the various parameters you can
choose for the displayed function. Press the left or right arrows to scroll to different
functions. Press the up or down arrows to scroll to different choices for the displayed
function.
