Beyond the Basics

With Ignore mode, the backlight functions as described in

Keypress mode, except that the scanner ignores the ﬁ rst

keypress. This mode is useful when you wish to quickly

illuminate the display and keypad without having to search

for the

key. The ﬁ rst keypress is ignored, and the scanner

sounds the low pitched error beep to remind you that the

ﬁ rst key pressed to activate the backlight is ignored by the

scanner.

In any backlight mode, you can press and hold

for about 1

second to force the backlight on full time. Press while the

backlight is on to turn it off.

Follow these steps to change the backlight mode and

duration:

1. If the scanner is on, turn it off and back on again. Multi-

System Trunking Scanner appears in the scanner’s display.

2. While Multi-System Trunking Scanner appears, press

3. Press

e or d to select the desired backlight mode and

duration. Selecting 3, 5, 10, or 20 sets the backlight mode

operation for the selected duration. Selecting I3, I5, I10,

or I20 sets the backlight mode for Ignore operation for
