The blue backlight comes on only when you press a button, however the green background is always there in the background and you can still ser the digital numbers..its just not as bright

The backlight comes on when you use any of the four buttons on the panel. The light stays on for about seven to eight seconds.

There will be a small light that stays on on the on/off switch. The top brighter light turns off when you push the button twice. The little light isn't too bright. Just turn it away from you. Hope this helps.

I think it's when the keyboard backlight is on. Goes off when I turn the backlight off.

I forgot how I set it up or whether it needed to be set up, but the backlight now comes on whenever I start the car and it stays on. I do not need to press any button.

The BC5.12 does not have a backlight. Holding the button down a few seconds like one answer suggested only resets trip data. I ride a lot at night and it would be nice to have.

I just received mine yesterday. The one I have has a backlit keyboard. When you first power on the device the keyboard backlight comes on, then after a moment or two of no use the light flashes briefly before then turning the backlight on. Just pressing keys does NOT turn the backlight on again. If you want the backlight again, there is a button on the side of the keyboard that lights the keyboard up again.

The backlight comes on after you push a button for about 5 seconds. Still works like new almost 5 years later.

The back light stays on for only a few seconds. There is setting in the menu to control it a bit. The reading stays on for a long enough time until battery saving shuts the unit down. I have never had a problem with these issues. I does have a continuous measuring mode.

Backlighting is pretty good, most of the keys are easy to see in the dark. It is a function button that toggles it on or off and it stays that way as long as it is charged.

There are 3-4 different backlighting modes...one of which is completely turned off. No issues entering bios after installation. Had this keyboard for about 6 months and I love it. The only thing that's missing is volume control, but can manage without that.

You can choose to turn it off or leave it on. The backlight has 3 settings: Active, inactive and standby. Each of the 3 settings has 30 backlight micro adjustments.

Back light is toggled on/off with a button on the keyboard. As far as I know, there is no way to time it. You can customize the colors and switch them with the profile and macro keys.

The backlight part of the display does not stay on when the unit is turned off. However, there is a display of time and some other misc info that remains displayed as long as there is power to the unit.

Yes. In addition you have the option to turn off the backlight completely, keep it on all the time, or have it turn on only in low light conditions.

I haven't had any problem with mine. I push the button - get bright - push again - it dims (not a whole lot). Don't get a flasher - maybe there's another button.

I did have that problem. However, there's an alternate method of turning on and off the light by twisting the front end. I twist the front end a little bit so the light is off which does not allow it to be turned on using button on the rear.
