Screen Backlighting
The GPS II’s backlight feature illuminates the screen display for a user-defined
interval (the default is 15 seconds) after every keystroke. There are three stages of
backlighting. When backlighting is on, a bulb icon will appear at the bottom left of
the sky view (Fig. 25). To adjust the duration of the screen backlighting, refer to the
operation setup section (see page 71).
To turn the screen backlighting on:
1. Press the red power key.
2. Cycle through the three levels of backlight by pressing the red power key.
To turn the screen backlighting off:
1. Press the red power key.
Whenever the GPS II’s backlighting is off, the bulb icon disappears from the
satellite status page.

your GPS primarily in day-
light hours, you should keep
the backlight timeout at the
default 15-second setting.
