3.2 LUX/LUX S MODELS: TAP SWITCH AND
ELECTROLUMINESCENT BACKLIGHT
The tap switch is used to activate the electroluminescent backlight. The switch is used
by pressing or tapping the movement sensitive area with your finger. This area is on the
face of the instrument between the ON/PLAN and TIME/MODE water contacts marked
with a “¤ LUX” symbol.
The light can be activated in all modes when the computer is on. The illumination goes
off automatically after approximately 10 seconds from activation. With a little practicing
you will quickly figure out how to use the tap switch. Do the practicing in a dark room
so you can see when the light goes on.
NOTE: For safety reasons the lamp will not come on, if the battery voltage is low (the
low battery symbol is displayed).
