While the unit is on, does the display stays lit at all times? Does it also have continues measuring mode?

The back light stays on for only a few seconds. There is setting in the menu to control it a bit. The reading stays on for a long enough time until battery saving shuts the unit down. I have never had a problem with these issues. I does have a continuous measuring mode.

Thank you for your question. The GLM100C has an option to select always on, off, or auto on/off for the backlit display. Yes, it also has the continuous measuring feature. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499)

The display doesn't stay lit,I use the batteries so not sure if it is plugged in if that makes a difference.

The digital display turns off to conserve battery I guess. But the unit itself does continue working on mine as long as it is not set in cable tv mode.

Yes, a blue light on each side of the display. Since the unit does NOT have an ON/OFF switch, the battery life is a lot shorter than it should be. Use the data sheet that came with the unit AND the info imprinted on the back of the unit to interpret the setup instructions, which are among the worst I have ever seen.

I don't think it sleeps (ie: the display turning off), though I haven't really paid much attention to it since it is used as a kitchen stereo. Pretty sure it does always stay lit up. It isn't very bright, but if you are using it near your bed and are sensitive to any form of light while sleeping it could be an issue.

Yes, the top left button lights up the display for about 30 seconds. It will not stay on.

No the display is not illuminated. This is the lower end of the self timers I think.

YES. The display does shut off after a preset amount of time. You can select the number of minutes in the menu. Or you can select to have it never turn off.You people saying it never shuts off are smoking crack.YES THE DISPLAY/SCREEN SHUTS OFF.

Yes it does. And it's pretty accurate, you can turn it on or off. User manual is extremely incomplete and confusing though

No backlight as far as I can tell but it is instantaneous and continuous in its' readings.

Display is always on. Location of thermometer (in-refrig, outside-refrig) does not control disply ON/OFF state

No, the unit is always lit. It is a low voltage system, though, and doesn't use much power.

Yes. It's supposed to be an indication that the unit is powered. Don't know why they included it but it is supposed to remain on.

Not really, unless you consider that to get it to light up, there is a minimal current draw while the unit is lighted up. When you unplug, there is no current draw. It really doesn't "Test" to get an accurate reading. It just shows what the battery reading is.

It is not illuminated at all. A simple digital display. Clear with moderate room lighting.

When the on-off switch is pressed to "on" the screen lights up bright enough for me to see in the dark. I have not discovered any way to stop the light from coming on, or for making it brighter or darker. The battery seems unaffected by having the light on for a long time, but how can I measure that when it just does its own thing?
