 7. Back Light Function 

To facilitate working at night or dimly lit situations, a back light function is 

provided which illuminates the display.

To operate this function, the back light button must be pressed and released 

while pressing the test button. The back light continues illuminating for 

approx. 40 seconds and then turn off automatically.

When the test button is released, the back light will turn off even within the 

lighting time.
