Turning the eXplorist On
To turn the eXplorist on, press the POWER button on the top right
side. To prevent the eXplorist from being turned on accidentally,
draining the batteries, you need to press
ENTER when the Startup
screen is displayed. You have approximately 30 seconds between
pressing the
POWER button and pressing the ENTER button,
otherwise the eXplorist will automatically turn itself off.
Turning the eXplorist Off
To turn the eXplorist off, press the POWER button on the top right
side.
There is a 5-second countdown after you press the
POWER button. If
you change your mind and decide to leave the eXplorist on, just press
the
ESC button. If you press the POWER button during this
countdown period, the eXplorist will immediately turn off.
Changing the Display Backlight Intensity
The display backlight has three levels of intensity: high, medium, and low. When the
eXplorist is first turned on, the display backlight is set to high. Press the
LIGHT button on
the top left side of the eXplorist to turn the backlight on medium. Pressing the
LIGHT
button a second time sets the backlight to low. To turn the backlight back to high, press the
LIGHT button again.
Backlight
intensity changes
each time you
press the
LIGHT
button.
REMEMBER: Using the display backlight on high causes severe
drain on the batteries.
