 again.

The backlight automatically turns off after about 1 minute if it is 
powered by internal batteries. It automatically turns off after about 
10 minutes if it is powered by vehicle battery power, unless 
significant changes occur in the surrounding magnetic fields.

CARE

Keep the compass dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use 
and store the compass only in normal temperature environments. 
Handle the compass carefully; do not drop it. Keep the compass 
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth 
occasionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the compass’ internal components 
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your 
compass is not performing as it should, take it to your local 
RadioShack store for assistance.
