Does the clock backlight stay on all the time?

I don't even have a back light. The clock has simple black numbers but no light.

The clock is not backlight at all. Meaning in the dark, you would not be able to read the clock.

The backlight stays on until you turn off the computer or you turn it off with the keyboard button. However, the lights are customisable with the included software, so all you would have to do is use a script to turn it off after some time. But it's probably just easier to push the button.

This unit will stay on, but after several idle minutes it will go into a power saver mode, the LCD readout will go dim and will stay that way until the unit is used again. If you turn the unit off, the readout goes into clock mode displaying the current time. For the price this is a very good item!

Hi. . the compass, as well as the time section and the altimeter/depth gauge barometer all stay in their mode until you press the main button (center) that switches between these three modes. The backlight will however go off at the interval you set. So the compass stays in the compass mode until you change it by pressing the button. The compass has proven pretty accurate in my experience with this watch.

The backlight can be shut off. I would not buy it again. It's a pain to use, there are too many pre set programmes.

No. The light should stay on until you turn it off. Mine has stayed on for hours at a time.

Yes. The clock only is displayed while plugged in. Yet it keeps the current.

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.

No, it stays running in the background - just press the clock again to see the current time.

Hi: No. When the unit is off, it is completely dark. Since the original unit in the car (18 years okay), had no backlight to the clock, got use too it and just put in a small travel clock that avails the time day or night.

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.

Yes! It has a backlight button that allows you to change the lighting or turn it completely off.

It does not appear to. I have not looked into it extensively, there may be a way to switch them on. But the default is not a backlit keyboard.

No, my clock is only displayed when the key is on. In settings you can select to display clock or selections

I don't remember a backlight nor what the center button did. Not trying to be nasty but I found the contraption practically useless. It kept time and date. I have a watch. Nothing else appeared to be remotely reliable.

It does have brightness settings. See previous answers. I personally do not care for the brightness at either setting, so I cut a piece of heavy white construction paper (about 6 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches), set the clock to dimmest setting and place the construction paper over the front of the display. The paper usually sticks there by itself (due to static electricity) and I only need it at night. The time is still visible in a dark room. Works great!
