Back Light Control

A light detector built into the upper left corner of the keypad senses low light levels. The backlight can be forced on by blocking the light to this sensor.

The automatic LCD backlight is factory set to only switch on under fairly dark conditions. This is to conserve battery power. As the batteries near depletion, the backlight will appear dim.

To set the backlight to be always off, highlight the light bulb icon in the tools section of the menu. Press the Select Key to toggle it between Auto, always ON and always OFF.
