Only to GT30)
About the backlight
The average service life of the GT30 backlight is 50,000 hours (at room temperature, normal humidity,
and 24 V DC). (“Service life” refers to the period over which the brightness diminishes by half, and does
not mean that the backlight no longer lights at all.) If the backlight has become dim, it should be replaced
with a replacement backlight (sold separately).

the upward direction, as shown in the illustration.

wearing gloves when doing this, to prevent injuries.
