Description
Th
e Commander has three push buttons;
These buttons
control the modes of
operation. The “Mode” button is used to
change the function of the LCD display
and to access
sub menus and adjustable
settings. The “Up” and “Down” buttons are
used to modify the settings.
In
normal operation mode, pressing the
“M
ode” button quickly causes the display
to cyc
le between the different instrument
displays. Pressing and holding the “Mode”
button causes the display to change to the
“settings” sub menus (see Figure 1).
When the settings
menus have been
selected, pressing the “Mode” button
quickly causes the display to cycle through
the setting options. Within
each setting
selection,
pressing the “Up and “Down”
buttons causes the affected setting to
change.
Note: The microprocessor will
automatically record the new settings as
you adjust them.
When in a
setting menu, pressing and
holding the “Mode” button returns to the
main function.
Th
e Tachometer and Fuel Level functions
have several values that can be adjusted to
match
your installed equipment. These
rarely used settings are changed in the Set-
Up Mode (see Set-Up Menu guide below).
