7.03 Backlight

(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → Settings →
Backlight)
The Backlight setting is used to control
the brightness of the GPS screen. It has
significant impact on the battery life and is
therefore recommended that you choose
a setting which you find comfortable, not
necessarily the brightest.
Filter Options:
Within the Backlight settings you will find
options for filtering your screen. These include
options for use at night and in strong sunlight:
• Red Filter: for night vision
Press the Red Filter button for night use
to preserve your night vision. This adds
a red tint to your screen so your eyes are
protected from viewing a bright screen in
the dark.
To preserve night vision, use a low level
setting. Below 10%, the scale goes down
in steps of 2%. (Some text may become
illegible using the red filter with a backlight
setting below 10%).

the daylight screen.
• Sun Filter: for strong sunlight
Press the Red Filter button to access the
Sun Filter option. This gives your screen a
higher contrast and increases the levels of
red, green and blue, so it is easier to view
your map in very bright sunlight.
