APX8500 Display Backlight-Change Default to BLACK

Post by ASTROMODAT »

How do you change the display backlight from its default white/faint blue to black on the APX8500? The only way I have been able to do this is by manually holding down the display button on the 8500's front panel for several seconds, then the display essentially reverses, with the display characters being lit, but the background switches to black. However, the next time you power down and then back up, this setting does not stick, and it reverts back to the default white background. I have searched 'CPS Help' on the current APX CPS (R25.00.00), running current APX FW (R25.01.00), but it only shows the various stock optional colors like red, orange, green, etc. No option to choose black for the display background.

Pls Help, Thanks!

Radio Ergonomics Configuration > Display > General > Save Day Night Mode

Obviously does not work on the O5 head, only the O2/O7/O9/E5 heads.

Hi Res6cue!

Thanks very much! That worked! I searched and searched before posting my question, even in the Display section of the CPS, but somehow I missed it. Thanks to you, now I'm good to go.
