LCD Brightness
The LCD brightness is separately adjustable for day and night modes. To use this setting, choose
the desired brightness setting for day and night modes. A light sensor located on the front of the
DVM automatically places the system in the correct mode (day or night). This sensor uses a
sampling filter to sense changes in ambient light; therefore some delay will be present when
switching between the two modes. This is designed to prevent the DVM from switching
unnecessarily when the dome light or car door is opened, for example.
Settings: Day Mode 1-7 [Default =5]
Night Mode 1-7 [Default =5]
The LCD brightness setting can be temporarily overridden by the DVM operator. See page
5-5 for more information.
Record LED Behavior
The Red Record LED behavior is adjustable to accommodate your desired operation when the
DVM is in record mode.
Settings: Off (Stealth Mode), Slow, Medium, Fast, Solid [default]
