Turning The Keytone Off/On
Contents
You have the option of turning the key conformation tone off or on (to confirm that the keys have been pressed). The keypad area is kind of small so some of us with big fingers, afraid that they
have pressed more than one key at a time, might appreciate this. This will also kill the annoying 'battery low' beep every 2 seconds.
To turn the Keytone off,
turn off the scanner. Turn on the scanner and press 2 while the welcome screen is displayed. Keytone ON will briefly appear.
To turn the Keytone on,
turn off the scanner. Turn on the scanner and press 1 while the welcome screen is displayed. Keytone OFF will briefly appear.
Using The Display Backlight (97)

Normal Mode:
Press
. The backlight will turn on for the factory default setting of 5 seconds. The backlight continues to remain on while you are operating the keypad.
To turn off the backlight before it automatically turns off, press again.
Keypress Mode:
In Keypress mode, the backlight will light automatically when you press any key on the keypad, and function as described in Normal mode.
This mode is useful if you want the backlight to come on automatically when you perform an operation using the keypad.
Ignore Mode:
With Ignore mode, the backlight functions as described in Keypress mode, except that the scanner ignores the first keypress.
This mode is useful when you wish to quickly illuminate the display and keypad without having to search for the
key.
The first keypress is ignored, and the scanner sounds the low pitched error beep to remind you that the first 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.
To Change the Backlight Mode:
Turn the scanner off then back on again. While viewing the welcome screen, press
. Press
or

3, 5, 10, or 20 seconds for normal mode.
