13. Set the time and date into the clock, use the 
instructions given in the "Time and Date Menu" 
section. The time & date will be remembered 
even if the battery goes dead. There is a separate, 
replaceable 10 year battery for this function.
14.  The communications LED will light solid to show 
data is being received. A flashing LED indicates 
the unit was unable to find the generator.
15. Set an exercise day and time now (see "Exercise 
Menu" section).
THE COMMUNICATIONS LED
The communications LED will light solid to show 
data is being received. If the LED flashes at regular 
one (1) second intervals, it indicates the unit was 
unable to find the generator. Irregular flashing is an 
indication of poor reception.
GENERATOR COMMUNICATIONS
The transceiver requests data from the generator 
every two (2) seconds and this is stored inside the 
transceiver locally. The data is relayed to the base 
station over the radio link every time it is requested 
by the display about every two (2) seconds. When 
on battery power, the data is only requested every 
minute to conserve batteries. If the generator is not 
talking to it’s transceiver, but the radios are talking 
to each other, this will be indicated by an appropri-
ate alarm which will be displayed after a seven (7) 
second period (Figure 4). Check the wiring and con-
nection to the generator.

CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT
The display contrast can be adjusted from the 
“Settings” menu. Any changes to the contrast setting 
will be remembered even if power is removed from 
the display.

BACKLIGHT
The display is backlit providing that it is powered 
from the wall transformer. If batteries are being 
used the backlight is disabled to conserve power. 
The backlight is lit whenever a key is pressed. It will 
remain lit for 20 seconds if there are no further key-
presses. If an alarm occurs, the backlight will flash at 
a one (1) second rate (not if battery powered).
BUTTONS
Operation of the display is controlled by three (3) 
buttons labeled +, —, and Enter. These buttons are 
used to navigate the display to the required page, or 
to enter data. The +/— buttons are also referred to 
as the arrow keys. Holding down a button for more 
than half a second will cause it to autorepeat until it 
is released.
BATTERY AND SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATORS
In the top left corner of the display, there are two 
icons (or pictures) that give a quick indication of 
the state of the internal battery and the radio signal 
strength (Figure 5). The battery is represented by the 
left hand, single tall rectangle which is drawn as being 
somewhere between full and empty. Full represents 
greater than 75% capacity, mostly full represents 50-
75% capacity, half full represent 25-50% and mostly 
empty represents 0-25% capacity. The signal strength 
icon is shown to the right of the battery icon as three 
vertical bars representing greater than 25%, greater 
than 50%, and greater than 75%. Three bars indicate 
excellent signal strength, two bars represent good 
signal strength (about 45%), one bar represents weak 
signal strength. Two bars is the normal indication.
