Function Buttons
The CodeRunner 2 provides three function buttons that control 
three specific functions: 
Polarization Select
Band Select
Antenna Select
Each also has an LED which illuminates to show which choice is 
currently selected. See Figure 3-1 on page 3-4.
Automatic Lockout  To prevent accidental activation, all 
function buttons and keypad keys become locked out after 
approximately 30 seconds of inactivity. This time period is fixed 
and not selectable by the user.
This time period is also independent of the Backlight Delay 
setting, which controls how long the display backlight stays on 
before automatically turning off. The Backlight Delay is set under 
the Configuration menu.
To unlock the buttons and keys, press any button or key once. 
Then press the desired button or key to make your selection.
