Setting Backlighting Interval, Contrast, Power
Saver, and Remote Command

Control of backlighting is accomplished on the

System page along with Contrast adjustment and the
Power Saver feature. Backlighting is important to efficient
phone use at certain times of the day, such as early
morning, late evening and at night. It is recommended
that backlighting be set for ‘Always On’ when powered by
external power sources such as AC or DC adapters and
chargers.

Otherwise when operating on battery power, set for

the time normally required for dialing or other phone
functions that you normally use. When set for a specific
time, backlighting will auto cancel at the expiration of the
time set, which begins after the last key press, but will
turn back on when an incoming call rings-in or any
button on the unit is pressed.

Extensive use of backlighting will cause a significant

reduction in battery life when powering the unit from the
batteries only. Enabling the ‘Always On’ backlighting
setting during charging will significantly lengthen
charging time.

About Remote Command:

Remote Command is a feature that allows your

NavTalk Pilot be be remotely queried for location by
another NavTalk Pilot, or another DTMF capable device
(i.e., a PC Modem). This can only take place during an
“Active” cellular call. Remote Command can be ‘Enabled’
or ‘Disabled’ according to the privacy that you desire.
When ‘Enabled’ the unit will respond to any DTMF tones
to “Transfer Location” while in a call. If ‘Disabled’ it will
not respond to these Tones. Remote Command is
password protected to prevent unauthorized changing of
the current setting.

Remote Command can
be enabled or disabled
and is protected by a
security password.
