About the EL backlight

• The PV Unit is equipped with an EL backlight that allows easy viewing

of display contents in a theater, or anywhere else where lighting is dim.

• Tap the

icon to turn on the EL backlight and illuminate the display

screen.

• You can use the procedure on page 23 to specify how long the EL

backlight stays on (approximately 15 or 30 seconds).

• Note that EL backlight operation consumes large amounts of electrical

power and can greatly shorten battery life.

• Note that frequent or extended use of the EL backlight shortens battery

life.

The following shows how backlight use affects battery life under controlled

test conditions*. For comparison with the values below, battery life is

normally approximately 80 hours with 55 minutes of continuous display

only and 5 minutes of processing operation per hour in the Contacts Mode

when no backlight operation is performed.

* Test Conditions

• “Battery Life” is the number of hours before battery failure when

the unit is left on (5 minutes of a processing operation and 55 minutes

of continuous display only (no processing operation) per hour in the

Contacts Mode, plus the backlight operation described below). The

above values assume ambient temperature of 20°C, starting with a

fresh set of new batteries.

• “Backlight Operation” is the number of minutes the backlight is

turned on per hour during the display only (no processing operation)

period.

• Be sure to use alkaline batteries. Manganese batteries provide very

short battery life.
