Simply touch the screen. You can also change the settings to change the screen contrast and time to stay on.

Never had that happen to me, but you might try turning it off and restarting again. The satelite signal may have faded. I assume the battery is charged!

I don't like the dimming but it is a battery saver. What I don't like even more is the screen contrast. No options. My sky caddy has 4 or 5 settings, much better. Additionally I don't like the side controls, to easy to accident push one when grabbing it. Hope that helps.

I have to tap the screen time after time to be able to get it to be bright enough. I have started to use an app on my smart phone for my GPS range yardage and have put the Golf Buddy up for sale.

I did not have to update the watch, it was ready when I received it. Turn on top left button(hold it until it comes on), it will give the time in a short while. Hold left bottom until play golf shows up, hit button again shortly, it will locate the satellite(takes awhile). It will show ready, hit button again and it will bring up your course, hit again and it will bring up #l. Change holes by moving the right buttons up or down.

If you just walk past it, it is only a few seconds. If you stay in reach of the monitor it will stay on the bright setting until you move away. There is no way to change a setting on it.

Sorry I cannot help. So far I only plug mine into computer after each game and it renews battery life for next game. Golf Caddie does have a forum you can ask questions and get advice. Good Luck

You can set it to come on at a certain time like an alarm clock but i havent seen any function for a gradual brightening

Go to 'settings'. 3rd down you will see 'TIMERS' which sets 'auto off' and 'sleep timer' :))

Go to "settings - power on by LCD". Switch it to off and enjoy! There is button "power" to switch it on and off under LCD screen.

Yes. You can set it for when you wake. It turns itself off after 2 hours as well.

It's an auto adjust feature. Go into Settings / PC and devices / Power and sleep / turn off auto brightness. I had to do the same thing because it was driving me nuts.

The lighting on the LED numbers can be dimmed. It sounds like this could be happening. Have you tried hitting the "snooze" button? That will dim the numbers each time you press it until you can't see it anymore. Press it again and it should light up bright. Hopefully that helps!

Yes, the screen will go dark when cover shuts. You hear a little click, like a camera shutter. When you open, you simply press the button and it wakes up.

Make sure the GPS is charged. Press the top button and you will see go play. You will then have to chose the Country, the State and scroll down the alphabets to the course you are playing. Once you have the correct course on the screen then press that course and it will come up. This GPS system is a little more complicated than some others however I am counting on Callaway to stand by their product if there is a flaw with the product. Golf Buddy which I had before the Calloway GPS did not stand by their product so I changed and I am happy that I did. When on the first tee press the top mode button on the right not the lower mode button. Make sure the GPS is charged. Press the top button and you will see go play.

It will automatically turn off after a few minutes of not being in use. I have had mine for a few years and use it often. I just put a new battery in it a few weeks ago. Such a handy little gadget. Wish it could add the putts separately, but what more can you expect when it also adds your score. :-)

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

I dim the light on my screen. This makes viewing from side angles difficult.You might try that, I haven't had any problems.

There is a dim setting on the device its self as well as angel adjustment... Please don't buy these products tho... When you reach the tech department. "THEY KNOW THAT IT IS A MALFUNCTIONING PRODUCT AND WILL ONLY PLAY AVI VIDEOS PART OF THE TIME" THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND THEN SIT ON THE PHONE QUIETLY WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT QUESTION.......
