Active backlight

The display of the Aladin Sport can be
illuminated both on the surface and under
water. The backlight can be activated with
a press-and-hold of the left button.
The light will turn off automatically with a
default duration of 10 seconds. However,
duration can be adjusted between 2 and 12
seconds. The backlight can also be set to
"push on/push off" in which case the light
stays on until you press the button again.
To set backlight duration:
• Starting from the time of day display,
push the left or right button to get to the
dive menu screen, then press-and-hold
the right button.
• Press the right button 3x to get to the
user settings screen, then press-and-
hold the right button.
• Press the right button once to get to the
backlight duration screen, then press-
and-hold the right button.
• Press the left or right button to choose
your backlight duration or to set push
on/push off, then lock in your choice
with a press-and-hold of the right
button.
• Press-and-hold both left and right
buttons simultaneously to return to the
time of day display.
F
NOTE: Repeated activation of the
backlight will reduce battery life.
F
NOTE: Keeping the backlight on
permanently represents a severe
strain on the battery. In warm waters
(20°C/68°F and above), a new battery
can sustain 20 to 40 1-hour dives with
the backlight always on. In cold waters
12
(4°C/40°F and below) the low battery
warning may come on within the
first dive. For temperatures between
4°C/40°F and 20°C/68°F the life of
a new battery will fall somewhere
between 1 and 20 1-hour dives.
The Aladin Sport monitors the battery
level throughout every dive, and if
the available energy drops below the
warning threshold, the Aladin Sport
will automatically disable the backlight
to prevent a computer shut-down.

clock/transmit symbol flashes and special
attention beeps sound for 30 seconds or
until you press a button.
