MENU SYSTEM

The LCD viewing area is used to display alpha numeric messages and measured values as well as Menu type systems for 

selection of settings and various auxiliary functions.  

Menus include the -

•  Watch Menu

•  Set T (Time) Menu

•  NORM Surface Menu

•  GAUG Surface Menu

•  FREE Surface Menu

•  Set G (Gas) Menu

•  Set A (Alarms) Menu

•  Set U (Utilities) Menu

•  Set M (Mode) Menu

•  Set FA (Free Alarms) Menu

Each Menu has a start (first) selection and a stop (last) selection.  Upon entering a Menu, movement through it begins at the 

start (first) selection, then continues in a rolling manner showing one selection at a time.  

•  The sample at the right shows how a menu would look if all of the selections would be displayed on one screen.

BACKLIGHT

To activate the Backlight at any time >> press the L button.  

•  The Backlight will activate and illuminate the display for button depression time* plus the Duration time set (0, 5, or 10 seconds), for a 

maximum of 20 seconds.

*The Backlight will turn Off if L is depressed for more than 10 seconds.

•  Press L again to activate as desired.  

Extensive use of the backlight reduces estimated battery life.  Also, the backlight does not operate during a low battery condi-
tion or when the OCL is connected to a PC or Mac.
