The Keyboard

The keyboard, along with the top control panel, contains the controls for run-
ning and programming the scanner. The buttons on the keyboard are described
in detail below.

LIGHT

The LIGHT button is used to turn on the internal LCD display light. Because
the LCD display depends on reflected light to be visible, the light comes in
handy for viewing the display in dim lighting conditions. When you press the
LIGHT button, the display light comes on for approximately five seconds. Then
it shuts itself off. Unfortunately, there is no way to keep the light on perma-
nently, even when the scanner is plugged into the AC transformer. If you need to
program a sequence in the dark, five seconds may not be enough time to perform
the operation. You can extend the time the light is on, however, by pressing the
LIGHT button again. Each time you press the LIGHT button, the five second
timer starts over. So, to keep the light on for nine seconds, press the LIGHT
button, count to four, and press the LIGHT button again. The light will remain
on continuously for nine seconds.
The LIGHT button will not work in Key Lock mode or when the Priority
channel is operating. See
