INFORMATION

2.3.1 contraSt SEttingS

The DSP6001 is shipped with the Contrast Setting at zero (lowest) in order to prolong display life.

1. Press SHIFT.

2. Press COM SETUP button.

3. Select CONTRAST until desired brightness is reached.

4. Press SHIFT to return to main menu.

result. Using a setting higher than necessary may cause display

segments to burn-in over a period of time, resulting in uneven

illumination from segment to segment.
