BACKLIGHT FEATURE
In addition to using a high contrast LCD for easy readability in low light con-
ditions, the 500AI Backlight feature evenly and easily illuminates the full dis-
play. Upon activation the Backlight will illuminate the display while the unit
performs its diagnostic check.
To activate the Backlight while on the surface or during a dive, press the Se-
lect (Right) button (Fig. 15). On the surface the display will be illuminated for
10 seconds. While in a dive mode, the display will remain illuminated as long
as the button is depressed, plus 10 seconds after being released. Additional
illumination time can be obtained by pressing the button again.
NOTE: Extensive use of the Backlight reduces estimated bat-
tery life. Also, the Backlight will not activate during a Low
Battery condition or while downloading data to a PC.
