The backlite does not function very well is it me or is this a problem

I noticed that I have to pick it up and rotate it from top to bottom just the right way so that I can see what's on the screen.

I agree the backlite is faint. It is not a problem for me but, I definitely agree it is not very bright.

The backlight is not always on when you push a button. I think it is designed this way. It all depends on the light condition. If it's bright enough, like during the day, the backlight won't turn on. There's a small light sensor on the top left corner of the LCD display which will detect the outside brightness condition, if it finds outside is too dark, it will turn on the backlight when you press a button. Hope this will help.

Mine is doing this also. It's not an overly steady strobe - more random. The flashlight does not have a strobe setting, so the person who said that it is switching between modes is wrong. It's weird - it's not as flickery as when a normal flashlight has a bad connection.

I have some backlight bleeding on the bottom right. It's not too bad, but definitely noticeable when the screen is displaying black. I have not tried to fix it myself yet.

No, I have not had this problem. I would imagine that there's nothing wrong, simply the light malfunctioning.

not what happened to me. It is a cheaper light so I would send It back and invest in a nicer light shuch as the thrunite tn12. and no that is not usual

What is your issue because I am also having issues with the light distance not extending out far enough on the road making it very difficult to see at night.

if your screen does not show anything at all, then that is not a problem with your backlight. It may be an issue with your motherboard. Water damage does not usually affect the screen.

Try turning on first Than hand adjust once nuts are loose and aim so that the beam paths slightly touch Good luckObviously works best in the dark

No, I haven't had that issue, but I don't use mine that much these days (mostly use bigger lights).

I always use the flash, even in daylight. I don't have trouble with backlighting. I have used most of the "mode" settings.

I haven't been very satisfied with my light. Suggest that you might consider a different light.

I tried it in a semi dark room. It is quite difficult to read. There is no back lighting.

The most likely problem is the battery not being fully charged. I use mine to look for small stuff I drop on the floor and to see the back of the computers or tv stuff all the time. I also use it every night and morning to take the dog out in the dark. So I find I need to charge it once a week. Using 3 aaa batteries make it less bright and it takes less time to make it even less bright. As long as the battery is well charged, it works super.

I agree it is very dark or dim when I have it plugged in. If I unplug it the screen is very bright. Will contact garmin to see why. Also volume is very low

Hi Frank, I purchased this scope about 6 months ago and have had great luck with it. I dont care for the red and green back lights and shoot it with no lighting. As far as it changing when zooming mine doesn't do that. I would say you might have received a defective one since the reticle is separate from the lens and sounds as if it might be moving slightly when you zoom. Amazon is great about replacing items, shoot them an email.

I recommend unscrewing the back a little to make sure its off when not using the light. the slider sometimes is off and sometimes drains a bit.
