This might be a dumb question but we are new to boating. Is the screen on this device backlit?

I cant remember as I gave it as a gift. I believe it had the option to turn a backlight on for night use.

No the LCD is not backlit. I think that is a great idea it would be nice if it had a switch to turn it on or off to save power. for that matter it would be nice if the meter had a switch to turn the display on or off.

The display is continuous and can alternate between the data you want - as an example heart rate and cadence. No backlight, but most people are not riding at night.

Yes it is backlit........I think it comes on automatically once you are in the dark. It remains off in daylight.But I am subject to correction on that; I'm no expert !

Yes, the screen is backlit. And, it is battery powered. It does not need to be recharged. However, you can use either rechargeable batteries you charge yourself or regular batteries. It has settings for both.

The keyboard is NOT backlit...I would have liked that. The screen can be bright eough that you don't need that feature in most cases.

No, it is not backlit when the call comes in. It is the same display as when the phone is sitting idle.

Yes, it is. Perhaps you purchased a different model. I know they sell a model with no back screen.

I don't know and boat is in storage, sorry. The lights are smaller than thought, and it isn't much. They are fine for me because I don't operate the boat at night anyway. I went this way due to the Columbia River Anchor system I have on the bow of the boat.

No, the screen is no backlighted. But the characters are good sized and it is black on white. Still visible unless you are in a very low light/dark location.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

Yes - screen is back-lit, but keypad is not (has big numbers anyway, easy to read). I really like these phones. Never a problem. I don't understand why someone said "hard to see." That's not true at all. Mine are easily visible. You have to pick up the phone to trigger the back lighting, but that is true with most phones. But if there is an incoming call, the lighting comes on immediately for all phones even in their bases which I double-checked just now. And the Caller ID tells you clearly who is calling. It is very well lit.

Dan is correct. No backlight on LCD clock. Seems like a no-brainer to have one, though. FYI this was mentioned in at least one review here.

Mine doesn't. I don't know where the confusion is, but mine is clearly a standard LCD with NO backlight. I've seen nothing on the web page or in the instructions to suggest that it does, and I'm sure that would be a selling feature. It doesn't need a lot of light, but if you have to use one in the dark I'd suggest getting one that specifically says it is backlit.

No. The lights are fine. The Motorola Surfboard does have bright LED indicators but they aren't that objectionable.

No, I'm sorry it isn't. The keypad and the rest of the telephone handset are all in black - nothing is backlit.
