7-6 Sound Settings: Fav Mute OR
During normal operation, if the Patriot is muted and you request to play a favorite, the sound is queued for
playback, but it cannot be heard until the caller is un-muted. Favorite mute override will take care of this
and eliminate the need for un-muting the sound upon preset activation. It works by initially checking to see
if mute is active and, if it is, un-mute the Patriot prior to initiating playback of the sound. Turning on favorite
mute override can be done by accessing Sound Settings, highlighting the “Fav Mute OR” menu item,
pushing “Select”, then using the “Sound Up” or “Sound Down” to toggle between off and on. Push “Select”
a final time to set it. This setting is remembered between power cycles.
7-7 Display/Power: Backlight
This setting allows you to change the intensity of the backlight in a range from 5% - 100%. The lower the
intensity, the better your battery life will be. To adjust this setting, highlight the Backlight menu option,
push the “Select” button, and then use the “Sound Up” or “Sound Down” scroll buttons to cycle through the
values. When you have selected the desired backlight intensity, push the “Select” button a final time to set
it. This setting is remembered between power cycles.
7-8 Display/Power: Bklt T.O.
This setting allows you to set the duration for the backlight timeout. The backlight illuminates every time a

the backlight will automatically shut off. Available values are 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute. Keeping
this at a lower value will help promote maximum battery life. To adjust this setting, highlight the Backlight
T.O. menu option, push the “Select” button, and then use the “Scroll Up” or “Scroll Down” scroll buttons to
cycle through the values. When you have selected the desired backlight timeout period, push the “Select”
button a final time to set it. This setting is remembered between power cycles.

This setting allows you to adjust the screen contrast. In ‘normal’ display mode (see 5-9 Display/Power: LCD

the darker the background will appear. To change this value, highlight the contrast menu item, push the
“Select” button, then use the “Scroll Up” or “Scroll Down” buttons to cycle through the values. When you
have selected the desired contrast setting, push “Select” a final time to set it. This setting is remembered
