Pressing the power button brings up the backlight controls as well as the current battery status. The
backlight level adjusts automatically via a photocell. Temporary adjustments to the backlight level can

unit, the backlight level is reset to use the photocell.
The GMU 11, GAD 13 and GAD 29/29B units are remote mounted units that have no independent
control or operation. These units are supporting units for the G5 functions and their use is dependent on
the configuration of the installation.
