on page 140.

Time

NOTE:

The time is based on the time stored in your computer. If your
computer’s clock is incorrect, then the time displayed on a sign will
also be incorrect.

Temperature

Inserts the current temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius into a message.

NOTE:

This option is only available on the 790i, Solar™, and AlphaEclipse™
outdoor signs.

Speed

The Speed menu item displays 5 speeds and a No Hold option. Each speed
determines how fast messages are displayed on a sign and then replaced by the
next message.

Speed 1 is the slowest and Speed 5 is the fastest.

Use No Hold if you want your messages displayed as quickly as possible.

New Line

text to appear on a new line.

New Page

Cherry Bomb displays a firecracker with a burning fuse. When the fuse burns
down, the bomb explodes.
