Background Mode

The pendant is in background mode when the USER LED is not lit and none of the
predefined functions are being used. The USER LED is lit whenever an application
program is making use of the MCP. The MCP will not return to background mode until
the program completes execution or is aborted. The LEDs above the predefined function
buttons indicate whether the functions are being used. If one of the LEDs is lit, the MCP
can be returned to background mode by pressing the REC/DONE key (more than one
press may be necessary). The predefined functions are described in
Functions" on page
When the MCP is in background mode, the viewing angle of the LCD can be changed.
There are three different angles. Press the "2", "5", or "8" button to select a different
viewing angle.
