Operating the TD 200
3.1
Using the Display Message Mode
The Display Message mode is the default operating mode of the TD 200. When you power
up the TD 200, the TD 200 enters the Display Message mode and remains in this mode until
you enter the Menu mode. The TD 200 returns to the Display Message mode from the Menu
mode if you do not press any keys for one minute.
Figure 3-1 shows you the default message of the Display Message mode.

Display Message Mode
Functions Available
In the Display Message mode, you can perform the following functions:
Scroll through enabled messages
Edit values
Acknowledge a message
There is no cursor on the display in the Display Message mode. The cursor is only displayed
when a key is pressed. To show the cursor, you must press either the UP or the DOWN key.
Scrolling through Messages
If there are more messages enabled than the display can show, the TD 200 displays the one
or two (based on message size) highest priority messages and places a flashing DOWN
arrow at the right-most character of the second line. This indicates that there are more
messages available for display. Use the following steps to view additional messages:
1. Press the DOWN arrow. The TD 200 displays the next lower priority message(s).
2. Press the UP arrow. The TD 200 displays the next higher priority message(s).
3. Press any key (except the UP or DOWN arrows). The TD 200 exits the scrolling mode.
