You can also change the Backlight settings using the UP/DOWN cursor keys to select the parameter, and the LEFT/RIGHT cursor keys to change the value.
Setting the LCD Contrast
LCD contrast is effected by Temperature, humidity, and viewing angle. The 9850’s LCD is temperature compen-
sated and usually does not require adjustment due to temperature variations. Only extremely cold (<0°C) or hot
conditions (>50°C) might require manual contrast adjustment. Viewing angle, however, is a matter of taste. The
9850 sets its fine contrast adjustment at a setting of 10. Setting the contrast lower than 10 will cause the display
to darken and turn more purple. Setting it higher than 10 will lighten the display. Set the contrast while holding
the 9850 at your usual operational angle.

STANDARD & CUSTOM DISPLAY SETUP
The 9850 offers the user a great deal of flexibility in how weight and other information is displayed. There are
five single channel preset displays and five multiple channel preset displays. These presets cover the majority
of user applications. However, the 9850 also allows complete customizing of how scale data is presented on the
display.
There are two basic weight display modes, Single Channel, and Multiple Channel. The single channel display is
the primary weight display, and is used as the display mode when a channel is highlighted and switched out of
the multiple channel display. If your CellScale is equipped with multiple channels, the display can be set up to
show up to eight channels at once.
Preview Screens
When setting up Weight Displays, the 9850 shows a preview of how the screen will be formatted. Abbreviations
for preview screens indicate what kind of data will be presented in each screen location. Dashes are used to indi-
cate the maximum screen space the data will occupy.
