3. SETTINGS, THE USE OF THE KEYS "MENU" AND
"SET"
The keys labeled MENU and SET at the display's rear can be used to set the time, language,
brightness, time zone, times of transitions from the standard time to the Daylight Saving Time and
vice versa, the display's IP address, the subnetwork's mask, the default gateway and the NTP
server's IP address. The display saves all the settings in its memory and uses them the next time it is
turned on.
The setting is performed according to the following procedure:

choose the desired setting by pressing the MENU key;

if you press the SET key, the current value of the setting chosen is displayed; the
character/digit than you can change at that time is blinking;

by pressing the SET key for a longer time, you can change the setting at the blinking place,

by pressing the SET key for a short time, you are moved to the next place/digit,

once you are satisfied with the setting, press the MENU key to save the setting,

if you do not press any key for more than 30 seconds, the display will return to the normal
displaying of time and messages; the setting chosen last (with the exception of the
brightness) will not be saved.
WARNING: While you perform the setting procedure, the communication with the Personal
Computer is interrupted
– the sending of messages and settings is not possible.
3.1 Description of menus

Here you can set the display's date and time with an accuracy of one second. The time you have set
will be adopted when you press the MENU key. If the display is connected with the NTP server, the
time received from the server will prevail.

In this menu you can choose the language that will be used for displaying the date and the time; the
abbreviations of the names of months and days of the week will be displayed in the language you
have chosen here.

Here you can select the display's brightness. The degrees you can choose range from 1 (the lowest
brightness) to 3 (the highest brightness).
