LCD Buttons
The 16 LCD buttons have 3 lines of text, 8 characters each. The text can be blank. The
buttons can be of 7 colors in 4 brightness levels: high, medium, low, and off. "Off" is not
quite black — you can read black text on the "off" background.
The following is an approximate representation of the 14 button colors:
Fig. 8-1: Button Colors
The best way to view this illustration is on a computer monitor. A color printer cannot
represent these colors nor can a black and white printer.
Each color is represented in Figure 8-1 as a (high-tally, low-tally) pair.
The colors of the up and down buttons are fixed. When they are off, they are white. When
they are on, they are said to be "amber. " This amber is not the same as for the LCD buttons:
it is pale and almost yellow.
The buttons are 24.5 mm × 23.5 mm with the LCD portion about 20 mm × 16.5 mm. The
button legend appears in a 64×32 pixel matrix.
