LCD Monitor on Pentax istD S2

How do you switch from ther viewfinder to the LCD monitor on the istD S2?

On my K-x you simply press the LV button but above the INFO button. However the istD S2 came without a user manual and despite trying to find a solution to my problem on the Internet I can't find one anywhere. Can anyone help me please?

There is no live view option on the IST series of cameras - the K20D was the first camera to receive a basic version of liveview, and the K-x had the first usable iteration of liveview. So, Viewfinder it is on your DS2!
