On pg. 23 of the manual, it says "7. Press SELECT to choose desired course. The operation light will illuminate.....". There is a display that provides info in black text, but it is not really "illuminated" and is difficult for my elderly parents to...

I don't think the machine is defective. I'm assuming that that illumination light that the manual refers to is simply the red light that comes on above the area where it says..."keep warm". That's the only light that I have that illuminates on the outside of the machine. There is also a light that comes on inside the machine when I lift the lid. It would be nice though and easier to see if the actual digital screen was backlit.

I don't know for certain, since I haven't used the illuminated version. But I would check the reviews of that particular model very carefully, and make sure that you can adjust the brightness all the way down. A common complaint with illuminated gear is that the brightness may be adjustable, but that even a the lowest setting it is still too bright. I can tell you that I've never been tempted by the illuminated version because I've never had a problem seeing the crosshairs on the regular version, and I've used it everywhere from city center sidewalk astronomy to radically dark skies deep in the Mojave desert. It seems to me that for bright stuff you don't need illlumination, and that for dim stuff the illumination might compete with the faint light from the target, BUT take that with a huge grain of salt since I am basically speaking from ignorance.

I have been told that your can turn on the Light sensor which controls backlighting by pressing Fn+A to on/off AI light sensor. Have to dig my keyboard out to try it tomorrow. Good luck

There is a cog looking button (sun to everyone else i suppose ha) that you press once for a low light setting and the second for full illumination. It works wonderfully and stays lit until you're inactive a certain amount of time -- though I've never turning off prematurely.

I don't recall having a learning problem. I saw someone wrote something about it, but I did not experience it. I am still using it and am very pleased with it and I taught it a lot of commands. The biggest issue is that it does go thru batteries quickly but I get more time out of the batteries by adjusting the backlighting intensity and timing.

I think there is a tag with info in the blind or in the carrying pouch. You can always go to their web site and get the instructions.

I wish I could give you an answer to this - the manual is sorely lacking in some areas. When (or should I say IF) Customer Service responds to your query, could you post it here? I would like to know the times for all the menu selections.

I believe there is a switch somewhere. My mother-in-law loves it as she has macular degeneration and it is a big help to her.

Mine doesn't go on buy that doesn't bother me. Until you asked this question, I never thought about it. I suppose that would be nice (my old one did have the light feature). Thanks for bringing this up. I'm still happy with it; my old one lasted for decades.

There are many leves. You have to click the dimer button many times to go from dimly lit to fully lit. I found that feature great!

Sorry..cant answer that. It was for keeping time in a course room that always had lights on..

It has a beautiful picture. An elderly person will probably need some help with setup as it requires a USB with the pictures to be installed on the digital frame. It can be programmed to turn on and off at set times during the day. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing my pictures displayed a few seconds at a time. I believe the display time can be programmed too. Can't remember all the details as I've had the frame over a year now with no problems at all.

You can program a calculator key. Illumination can be turned off, and it does go dark when the computer turns off.

I don't believe this unit is "too" bright. There are options to change the color, both on the radio display and GPS. I have my GPS setting on night always. Not bright at all. But this unit isn't without it's glitches. I've had experiences now more than a couples of times where the screen freezes or not turn on at all. I had to turn off the car and it reset. Granted I am no expert, I do not know if it's my car's electrical system or the unit itself. Good luck with your shopping.

No.The units I've purchased thru TangsFire, if you hold the switch "off" for just a second, it remembers the last setting. If you click it off quickly, it seems to turn on to the next setting. I have not been able to find these thu the Ultrfire website, and there is some differences in the beam from flashlight to flashlight. There is also a 3 mode available that did not remember the last setting so be sure you know what you are buying.

Yea this lights a bit different than most. Tap the button once to turn it on, once on HOLD the button down and the light automatically cycles through three brightness levels, low, med and high. Now here's where it gets tricky: when the light is OFF if you hold the button down it activates "moonlight mode" which is ultra low for late night illumination. Once moonlight mode is on, holding down the button for a sec will continue to cycle through the other modes. Phew! Ok, one more, a quick DOUBLE TAP of the button when OFF activates a fast strobe used for defensive purposes (it's supposed to disorient an attacker). Hope this help! :-) Yea this lights a bit different than most.

It is not back-lit. The remote is programmable, not sure if it is learnable. You can find the users guides online.
