Volume button brightness control

[Peerlessk]

Decided to get myself another sds200 . They keypad is definitely brighter . anyone else notice the newer sds200 keys being brighter . Also if I click the volume button 3 times it toggle low medium and high then goes dark . my first sds200 doesn’t do this , normal if not what’s the settings so it will do that ? I tried setting my first sds200 to do what the new one does pertaining to the volume button controlling the screen brightness . Thoughts?

The low/medium/high presets in Display Settings probably aren't the same.

 

[Peerlessk]

When I click or push rather the volume button . Nothing happens

 

[jonwienke]

If all the presets are set to the same brightness, that's what will happen. Did you check that?

 

[Peerlessk]

Yeah . All set differently

 

[jonwienke]

If you're absolutely sure both units are programmed identically, the the one may have a defective clicker switch on the volume encoder.

 

[Peerlessk]

Don’t know . It does click but doesn’t task .. no clue

In Sentinel/Edit Profile/Display Options...lower right corner...Dimmers (change default settings): I have mine set: Low (10%)..Medium (40%)...High (100%). I'm not sure if you were on the same page as jon?

The they both have the same firmware?

 

[Peerlessk]

Yeah same firmware . I’m thinking the volume button is faulty. The new ads200 has click to the volume Button where as the first sds200 pushes in but doesn’t click . If this makes sense . Thing is I never knew I didn’t until the new sds200 arrived . The first one has been in the same place since out of box . No falls no access to those to mess with it . Thanks for the reply’s . I’ll call Uniden get a new volume knob

Yep, you should be able to feel a physical click or snap when pushing the volume control in. You should also hear it so it sounds like your first 200 does have a bad control.

Both of mine change low-med-high with volume button click, but the numerical keypads stay the same (both are very visible in low light conditions). The optional settings only affect the display screen brightness.

 

[Peerlessk]

So.... playing with the volume button and turning all the way up . I get the clicks and the three setting low,medium and high . Lol now I’m really confused

 

[jonwienke]

If the display brightness only changes when the volume control is all the way up, you have a bad volume encoder.
