1) Press the [SHIFT] key to enter shift mode, followed by the [LIGHT/CONTRAST] key.
The display shows the popup screen for adjusting the display contrast.
2) Use the [MENU] dial to adjust the display contrast.
Rotating the [MENU] dial clockwise weakens the contrast while rotating the dial counter
clockwise strengthens the contrast.
3) Press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm the setting.
The display contrast is set.
The popup screen is dismissed and the unit exits the contrast adjustment mode.
<Note>: When you operate the unit on battery, we recommend not using the display
backlight unless necessary, because the backlight consumes the battery power.

Turning on the display backlight
Turns on or off the backlight of the display.
Pressing the [LIGHT/CONTRAST] key turns on the backlight of the display, which is
automatically turned off after three seconds. If you keep holding down the [LIGHT/
CONTRAST] key for more than three seconds, the display shows "--Light on hold--" and
the backlight keeps on lighting until you press this key again.
Adjusting the display contrast
The display contrast is adjusted appropriately when shipped. However, you can adjust
it as your favor by the following procedure after turning on the power.
Turning off the power
Before you turn off the power, make sure that the unit stops access to the drive.
To turn off the power, switch the [POWER] switch to the OFF position.
The display backlight flashes weakly and slowly. This indicates that the internal TC genera-
tor is still working after turning off the main unit.
The time until the TC generator turns off is set to five minutes by default, however, you can
set it to the desired time via the "TC PWR Timer" item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the MENU
mode (see page 195).
