“Wallpaper”
This module allows you to individually
set the STREET MODE and TRACK

black or white for both day and night

night settings. The photo sensor also
controls a subtle automatic brightness
adjustment function within both day
and night modes to suit ambient light
conditions. To set the wallpaper
1. From the MENU screen, select
“Wallpaper”.
2. Select the mode you want to adjust (select DAY for daytime display
settings or NIGHT for nighttime
display settings). 3. Select the background color (se-
lect BLACK for a black background
or WHITE for a white background).

5. To set another background color, repeat from step 2 or select the tri-
angle symbol to exit this module.
