tough shock and vibration endurance. The display can operate at temperatures more extreme
than you are likely to encounter.
There are three basic screen layouts for the Wide W. Figure A shows the default screen layout
which does not include temperature and speed readings. If you have purchased the temperature
and speed accessory and it is installed, the screen layout will be slightly different as shown in
