Adjusting the Backlighting on a GPSMAP 60C/60Cx/60CSx

Lighting conditions may make it difficult to view the GPSMAP® 60C, 60Cx, or 60CSx outdoor handheld display. If so, you may need to turn on the backlighting and adjust it to the desired level of brightness. Use of backlighting increases the rate of battery depletion.

  1. With the GPSMAP 60C/60Cx/60CSx handheld On, press and release the POWER key to display the Backlight Adjustment Slider.
