11 Operation
Control Panel
There are 8 buttons on the right side of the monitor. All of these buttons are illuminated and all of them
increase brightness when touched. After a short period of time when no buttons have been pushed, they
will revert to their low brightness level.

Pressing the rotate button will cause the screen to “flip” in the horizontal way for a total of two possible
ways. Successively pressing the rotate button while watching the monitor, allows for a quick set up for
proper operation. The rotate button is depicted as a circular arrow to the right. The selection is stored in
memory so when power is removed and re-applied, the same configuration is in place.
