Customising Without Using the Software
If you press the SETUP key when the unit is turned on, the current state of the configuration options
will be shown on the display. This setup screen gives access to some of the options available in the
Configuration Settings panel of the database window of the software.
The available configuration options are:
Contrast This is the same as the Contrast setting in the Display Controls box.
Light Backlight off time delay. This is the same as the Backlight setting in the Display
Controls box.
Auto off Auto power off time delay. This is the same as the Auto off setting in the Display
Controls box.
Recharge This is the same as Re-chargeable batteries installed in the Power Settings box.
You can change the values of these options by using the up and down arrow keys to select the
option, and then pressing the ENTER key. The cursor will now point to the current value of the
selected option. You can change the value with the left and right arrow keys.
When you are satisfied with a value, you can press the ENTER key to set the value, or you can press
the ESCAPE key to cancel, to cause the value to revert back to its original setting. When the cursor
points to one of the options, you can press the ESCAPE or SETUP key to exit the setup screen. The
display will briefly show the power-up screen, including the firmware version and battery voltage, and
then revert to displaying the unit’s current date, time and temperature reading.
For example, to change the contrast setting:
Press the SETUP key. The display will show the setup screen.
The cursor is already pointing at the “Contrast” setting.
Press ENTER to move the cursor to the contrast value.
Use the left and/or right arrow keys to change the setting.
When you are satisfied with the setting, press ENTER again to set the value, or ESCAPE to cancel.
The cursor will move back to the left.
Press ESCAPE to exit the setup screen.
