counting, the display will flash, showing three
rows of three dashed lines each (Figure 5).

Operation at Low Temperatures
At temperatures below –22 °F (–30 °C), it
takes somewhat longer for characters to form
on the display. The UltraRadiac-Plus
automatically corrects for this by sensing the
ambient temperature and increasing the
display refresh time from two to five seconds.
Operation of the UltraRadiac-Plus is
otherwise unchanged.
