On the second line, soft keys are used: each keyboard button’s function is displayed. The assignment of a button to a

alarm occurs. A corresponding alarm message will also be displayed on the second line.  If more than one message 
is to be displayed then the messages will scroll sequentially. 
 
All settings can be saved individually. The lit green LED indicates that the AC is on.  The LCD back lighting will 
turn off after 5 min of inactivity, if the power save function is selected. It will turn back on whenever a button is 
pressed or any alarm occurs. The accuracy of all readings is 0.5% +/- 1digit.
