5. Mode Five: KEYPAD OFF/ BRIGHTNESS ADJUST
In order to see very faint objects, it will sometimes be necessary to either dim or completely turn off the
Keypad red LED backlighting. To do so press the MODE button until the display goes blank. This is the
OFF option.
To set the Keypad brightness, press the ENTER button and adjust the brightness to your satisfaction with
the PREV and NEXT keys. To exit, press the MODE key.
Note: The backlighting is done by edge lighting a plastic light bar underneath the Keypad. Four LED's are
used and do not give a perfectly even backlighting of the keys as keys closer to a LED will be a little
brighter than those keys further away.
