SETTING THE BACKLIGHT TIME

The backlight illuminates the display for enhanced viewing. The default setting 

is 10 seconds. If Button Control is chosen the backlight button on the key pad 

will act as an on/off switch and the backlight will remain on or off when the 

meter is being used. When one of the other settings – 10, 20 or 30 seconds – 

is chosen, the display will be illuminated for the specified amount of time after 

any button is pressed.  

NOTE: The backlight feature uses a significant amount of power. The longer 

the backlight is on, the more frequently the battery will have to be charged if 

the USB/Wall Adapter is not being used.
