you can also set your backlight time-out 

(model  X473  only).  See  the 

Backlight 

time-out

 discussion that follows.

 NOTE:  If  at  any  time  during  pro-

gramming no button is pressed for 30 

seconds,  the  Corsa  Digital  Compass 

exits out of programming mode.

Backlight time-out

(only available in model X473)

The Corsa Digital Compass model X473 has 

a programmable time-out for the backlight. 

The  default  time-out  value  is  10  seconds, 

meaning that after 10 seconds the backlight 

will turn off. The time-out can be set at 10, 

30,  or  60  seconds. You  may  also  choose  to 

never have the backlight time-out by selecting 

OFF

”.  The  backlight  can  be  turned  off  at 

any time by pressing both the 

ADV 

and 

ENT 

buttons simultaneously, regardless of which 

backlight  time-out  value  is  selected.  Keep 

in mind that the backlight uses significantly 

more  power  than  the  compass  itself.  It  is 

therefore recommended that the backlight be 

turned off when it is not needed.
