that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environments
and maintains top resolution through the use of active-
matrix technology.

OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Lift the latch located at the top of the display panel.
This releases the locking mechanism and raises
the display slightly.
2. Lift the display panel backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable
viewing angle.

ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS

may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a
more comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to

the brightness level as low as possible.
