With Batteries Only
When the receiver is turned OFF when operating from
batteries the display lighting will do one of the follow-
ing.
• If Dim, Medium, or Bright was selected using the
‘LIGHT’ key when the unit was ON, the display will
be Dim when turned OFF, and will remain lit dis-
playing Local or GMT time for ten seconds, after
which both the Dim lighting and the LCD “TIME”
display will turn off.
• If no backlighting was selected using the ‘LIGHT’
key when the unit was ON, the display will not be
illuminated when the receiver is turned OFF. The
LCD display will show Local or GMT time for ten
seconds and then turn OFF.
• Pressing the ‘LIGHT’ key when the receiver is OFF
will cause the display illumination to be toggled
between being on and off. The LCD display and any
illumination will turn off after 10 seconds.
When the unit is OFF, pressing the ‘TIME’ key once will
activate the LCD “TIME” display and additional presses
of the ‘TIME’ key will cycle the “TIME” display
between Local and GMT. If any display illumination
was selected when the unit was last in the ON state,
SPECIAL USE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS continued
Dim display lighting will be turned on with the first
press of the ‘TIME’ key along with the LCD display.
Both illumination and the LCD display will turn OFF ten
seconds after the last press of the ‘TIME’ key.
When the receiver is ON, and either Dim, Medium, or
Bright backlighting is selected, the illumination will
turn OFF ten seconds after the last control input.
Changing any control setting other than ‘SQUELCH’,
‘TREBLE’, ‘BASS’, or ‘VOLUME’ will cause the display to
come back ON and remain ON for ten seconds after
the last control setting change and then turn back OFF.
This “time out” feature can be disabled by holding
down the ‘LIGHT’ key for three seconds. You will hear a
confirming beep. This will cause the illumination to stay
ON until the receiver is turned OFF. However, the user
should keep in mind that this mode of operation will
result in a considerable reduction in battery life.
The illumination timeout feature can be re-enabled in
one of two ways.
• Hold down the ‘LAMP’ key for three seconds. A
beep will be heard, confirming that the feature has
been enabled.
• Turn the receiver ‘POWER’ OFF and back ON.
