Adjusting the backlight level and the timeout for an Approach G6, G7 or G8
The Approach G6, G7, or G8 allow you to adjust the backlight to different levels, as well as control when the backlight will turn off.
The backlight percentage bar will appear by tapping on the power button. Touching the bar will provide different levels of brightness. When the percentage bar is set to 100% percent, the backlight is at its maximum brightness.
To change the backlight timeout:
- Press Setup from Main menu
- Touch Display
- Touch Backlight Timeout
- Choose the preferred setting
The backlight will now turn off at the selected setting.
Garmin recommends having the backlight off when the Approach G6, G7 or G8 is not in use. The battery life will deplete at a much faster rate the more the backlight is used.
