Shouldn't the Electroluminescent Display Light be on all the time?

As I recall, the display turned off after a short time period. However, I never did get the device to work properly, so I can't go back and check at this point.

I like that it goes off. It is in my bedroom. I have a security keypad that won't go off and the light is annoying.

Mine is on all the time. I think it just means the circuitry is working correctly to let you know it's available if needed.

Try holding the power button for a couple of seconds. The light cycles they 3 light settings.

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.

No. The lights only come on when it's in test mode. They'll be off normally

to make sure it is in the automatic position the light has to be blue. I don't think there's a way to have it automatic all the time. in my experience its people that mess it up and either turn it off or leave it on in the wrong position

If it is charged up, then hold the on button down until it lights. If it doesn't, it is likely faulty.

No. The light only comes on when you are adjusting the settings, or if you press the large button underneath the display. The light will stay on for about 10 or 15 seconds after you stop pressing buttons and then turn itself off.

The switch is not lit, per se. But the row of 7 dots to the left of it do glow, with the one corresponding to the present level setting glowing brightest. So it can be seen in the dark, but isn't normally what you'd think of as a lighted swtch.

Usually by going to control panel and then display. Could also be a function your power saver mode sometimes reducing the brightness to save power. Jon A

There is a mode where you can turn off the nightlight, but not the display light. I put ducked tape over it and now it is fine.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

I suppose it's possible there would be a slow draw on the battery if the status lights remain lit. I haven't actually checked that.

Correct. The backlight is on as long as the device is getting volts. The internal battery is just an LR44 button cell that keeps the time and temperature functions running.

do you mean why does the display lights come on after you click the system off? In that case the system is in sleep mode. I don't know of that happening the other way around.

The display doesn't stay lit,I use the batteries so not sure if it is plugged in if that makes a difference.

It must be. Every time I turn it on, the light doesn't appear but it still works for me. Did you try to see if it still worked?
