Pro-Lite PL-M1020 - Manual (Page 24)

Every key I press shows symbols. How do I type letters?
Press the CAPS key to exit the figure and symbols mode.
My TRIVIA questions are not showing with my message?
The TRIVIA option may not be enabled. Refer to page 16 to enable Trivia.
How do I slow down the shifting speed of the display?
In most cases, you are standing too close to the display. Try stepping further away
from the sign. If it is still too fast, you can insert Speed2 or Speed3 before your
message to reduce the shift speed. Refer to Appendix IV.
How many characters can program onto the sign?
Each page can hold up to 1,000 characters (1,000 bytes). The total available
character memory is 12,000 bytes. Graphics and effects occupy additional
character space therefore using up more bytes.
My sign shows
“memory full” when I try to program?
The maximum characters available to input in the page has been reached. Please
try another page. If the same message appears, memory capacity for the whole
sign has been reached. To enter additional messages, you will have to delete
some of your existing content from the sign.
Can I increase the memory of my sign?
No.
Can I program my sign through a computer?
Yes. For more information, please refer to the enclosed Accessories Order Form
that was included with your sign or call our sales department, 714-668-9988.
Can I program my sign through the LAN?
Yes. You will need to purchase a Mini-Web LAN serial server. For more
information, refer to the enclosed Accessories Order Form that was
included with your sign or call our sales department, 714-668-9988.
I program a message, but when I move the sign to another location my
message is gone.
In order for the memory to perform reliably you must plug the sign in for at
least 8 hours continuously when new to fully charge up the battery. As
further precaution to safeguard the memory, you should always plug the
sign power adaptor to a surge protector. Power spikes and surges can
cause the sign memory to be deleted.
Does the ON/OFF button on the remote shut the power to the sign off?
No. The sign is still running but in quiet mode.
Can I show only one of the animated graphics?
No. The animated graphics are fixed and cannot be changed.
I want to use my computer to send messages to the sign but it does not
have a COM PORT?
You can use a USB to Serial adaptor. Please call our sales department for
more information, 714-668-9988.
