Back to the Documentation PageSetting the BackLighting of the LCD for the CapeClock  
 

You will need:

  • A Flat screw-driver

  • A 5.5mm socket and driver

  • Long-nose pliers (not required, but useful)

  1. Turn the power to the CapeClock off.

  2. Remove the CapeClock from the wall (if you have already mounted it) by loosening the two mounting screws at the bottom of the clock sufficiently to remove the clock off the bracket that is mounted on the wall. Take care, because when the clock is pulled from the screws holding it to the wall-mounted bracket, it will have nothing holding it up. To remove it from the wall-mounted bracket completely, gently lower it, taking care that any wires that are already connected are not strained.

  3. Place the CapeClock face-down on a protective cloth so that the readers and front are not scratched.

  4. If you already have the Back-lighting set on, then you can change the Backlighting jumper to the "None" position (see jumper position in Figure 1a) using a pair of long-nose pliers. Similarly to turn the Back-lighting on, change the jumper to the other position (see jumper position in Figure 1b).

  1. Replace the CapeClock back onto its wall bracket, ensuring that the tongue of the back-plate is inserted into the corresponding groove in the wall-mounted bracket. Secure the CapeClock onto the wall-mounted bracket (see Figure 3) with the 2 Mounting screws at the bottom of the CapeClock, ensuring that the cable cover plate (see Figure 4) is correctly positioned.
