Display Settings ..
Backlite Max Bright.
Automatic:
When set to
Automatic
, the backlight brightness is automatically varied according to the vehicle’s inside cabin ambient light
level. UltraGauge’s backlight brightness increases as ambient light brightness increases. This is useful to maximize brightness
and contrast during daylight hours and to minimize brightness during nighttime driving. In Automatic mode, the backlight
brightness is limited to a minimum brightness and a maximum brightness, and the backlight is automatically adjusted between
these limits. The limits are set via the menu items;
Backlite Min Bright
and
Backlite Max Bright.

The sensitivity to the Ambient light can be adjusted via the
Ambient Sensitivity
menu setting. This setting allows UltraGauge to
better adjust the Backlight brightness depending on the Vehicle’s ambient light. For example, vehicles with tinted windows or
with smaller windows will have overall lower light levels and an increase in sensitivity would be recommended. See the
Ambient Sensitivity
setting for more detail.

MENU

Backlite Min Bright
This setting is used in conjunction with the
Backlite mode
setting.
When the Backlite Mode is set to Fixed, this setting has no effect.
When the Backlite Mode is set to Automatic, this setting becomes the Minimum Backlight Level and the brightness is
automatically adjusted between Minimum and Maximum light levels according to ambient light levels.
The brightness is set as a percentage of the maximum Backlight level. A value of 100% corresponds to the maximum light
level. 0% corresponds to the lowest light level. Note that 0% is not off, but rather the lowest backlight setting that is still
visible. Changes are reflected immediately. Avoid covering the sensor window with your thumb while making adjustments.
