Operating a BetaBrite sign

You can operate a BetaBrite sign in two ways:
• by using a hand-held Remote Control for both basic setup and
messaging, or
• by using a single computer connected to the sign for messaging.
See "Using a computer to operate your sign" on page 14.

Using a Remote Control to operate your sign

A Remote Control is a hand-held keyboard used to operate a
BetaBrite sign. Most of this manual shows you how to set up a sign and
program messages using a Remote Control.
A Remote Control needs two AA batteries to operate.

• SET TIME – changes the
sign's time.
• SET DATE – changes the
sign's date.

to prevent someone
from changing your
messages.

graphic files.
