The display features a user-friendly interface with a status bar, battery state of charge (SoC) widgets, and a tab bar for navigation. The status bar shows active connections (like Bluetooth), time, and notifications. The battery state of charge is indicated in percentage and a ring diagram, along with the statuses of other connected devices.

Usage Features:

Upon first startup, the display automatically searches for all connected N-BUS or CI-BUS devices and presents their setup menus sequentially. Users can then navigate through various screens using selection buttons to set required data, or complete the setup later.

When the display is in use, its illumination activates for 3 minutes. If there's no further interaction within this period, the lighting automatically turns off, though the display continues to show the same content. Pressing any button reactivates the illumination, and a second press performs the button's actual function.
