Suunto 9 baro backlight

[pcm_smeets]

I have a question…

When I was using my former watch, the suunto traverse amber, I could push on the lower right button to out on the backlight, also during recording/tracking a hike…

At the Suunto 9 Baro, this doesn’t work. Sometimes I can’t see anything on my screen. So who knows how I can turn on the backlight for a minute During recording a hike… .

@pcm_smeets
As Brad said, it’s all in manual that, if you are a new 9 user, i suggest you to read. You will find a lots of usefull things.

For enable touch, just going to exercise, scroll down to options, battery mode, custom, and enable it.

@pcm_smeets if you lock the screen during your hike you can press upper or lower button…

@nseslija thanks. Will do this

If the backlight is in toggle mode, there doesn’t appear to be any way to turn it off after starting an exercise.

Am I missing something?

@wandern enable touch for that activity

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @wandern had the same question (well, my wife had and I had to answer) - can’t say it was obvious that to enable tap (touch) in activity I have to set custom battery mode and option within
