Is this meter illuminated full time or do you have to push a button to illuminate?

I can not help you with this item because it went right in the trash. I should have sent it back but it was so cheap it wasnot worth the trouble the description for the unit does not tell you it is ment to be mounted in a control panel it only has two wires hanging out to hook up a power supply it will work with a battery but where do you put it. It does not include a temp. probe and does not show any as a accessory. Unless your electronics geek and are going to cut the display into a cabinet I would stay away. I am an Electrician and the price was to good to be true.

I am not sure how it works? It looks like to me it has to be hooked into a power source somehow. I could use some help here as well.How do you hook it up?

Marvin, This meter has a constant display- no button press needed. Display brightness adjusts automatically with ambient light level. You can see the manual covering this and several other models here- http://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/manuals/320-500-parts-express-manual.pdf

Full time. So don't expect it to run on a couple of small batteries. You'll need a small power supply.

You just need to supply the power and it will illuminate. There is no button. In my car it illuminates when I start the engine full time until the engine is off.

No there is no buttons to push. Just connect it to a wire or fuse boxthat has power when the key is on. I ordered the blue one as wellbut it was an Ugly purple color. I remove the electronics from thecase and the LED readouts are blue. I removed the puple lens,replaced it with a clear lens then put a some pirce of dark windowtint over the clear lens then it looked like it belongs in a auto.If you go to a place that does window tinting they will give youa scrap piece of tint.

Illumination is full-time as long as power is supplied. I haven't yet figured out how to prevent it from alternating between deg F and C.

Don't know. There is a UV light in the base but on mine it is always on. Pushing the button doesn't do anything.

You can select it by pressing the left above and below buttons at the same time. The light will appear for just a few seconds, it is not permanent.

As Joseph above said, I don't have a meter either, but it's quite bright - even to the point where it's uncomfortable to look directly at the lights. It has a dimmer on the remote control, but if you're looking for high brightness, it's very good. You might consider getting two of them if you own a soldering iron and extending it to 33 feet and doubling up if you need a ton of brightness. That way you could use the same remote. When you receive it, you'll see how easy it would be to extend it.

It has a photocell to turn it on at dusk. My experience with this unit is not good, however. The unit is too heavy for the plastic stem which in time broke on two units I had. The units can also leak water. Would recommend newer LED units.

The backlight it only on when a button is pressed at the top left of the dial. The station is displayed for a short time then it reverts to showing the time.

There is one button on the light. When you click it once it turns on or off. When the light is on, if you hold the button it will scroll through it's three light settings. When you let off, that's where it stays until you do the process again. One thing to note, if the light is off and you hold the button the light will deactivate and you won't be able to turn it on until you hold the button down again.Side note, this is an excellent light! It is very bright and the unit is very durable. I use it every day and strongly recommend it! Best light for the money! And the run time is awesome! There is one button on the light.

You plug it in and charge it and the light only comes on when there is no power going to the unit. If you pull it out of the wall plate it will illuminate.

Yes the button is lighted. The light is kind of yellowish but it looks nice.

Yes. By pushing the middle button. In addition, the timer will turn off your light according to your program as well.

No it isn't illuminated and that is a drawback. But it is a nice functional delayed brew unit, and I'm very happy with it. Roger Cook

Yes it does have a lighted dial. There is a red button on top (next to the on/off push-button) to turn on or off the light. It is quite well lit and can even be helpful in the daytime. If the radio is plugged in to A/C I suppose one could leave it on all night. It must be LED as it has the distinguishing white light as apposed to the warmer tone of an incandescent. I run my radio on battery power about an hour a day for four months now and have had no sign of needing to change out the batteries.

Yes. The button saying UNITS and with the symbol of a light bulb is the one to use. A short press will just turn on the light but by holding it down longer you can change from metric to USA and a variety of fractional values etc etc

The purtifyer is on when the button is pushed in. The light shows up better when the room is dark. I like the GG very much and find their products to be consistantly reliable.

It's find for 2-3 months. It has a tester button and light. After 2 months it shows 4/5 lights.
