The  compass  uses  an  electro-luminescent 

backlight to illuminate the display, making it 

visible at night. Pressing any button turns the 

backlight on or off.

Battery Mode

If your compass is in battery mode and the 

light  is  switched  on,  it  will  automatically 

switch  off  after  30  seconds  to  conserve  the 

battery.

12 volt Mode

If  your  compass  is  in  12-volt  mode  (with 

the  power  lead  connected),  the  light  will 

automatically  turn  on  when  you  switch 

the  compass  on  and  will  remain  on  until 

the  compass  is  turned  off  (manually  or 

automatically).  If you disconnect the 12-volt 

power  cord  to  the  unit,  the  light  will 

automatically switch off after 30 seconds.
