Welcome! In front of me I have Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical and I'm gonna
0:11
show you how to change the backlight timeout duration on this device
0:16
Basically how quickly the backlight will turn off after you press the light
0:21
button and you stop using your watch. First we need to press and hold the menu
0:26
button to open the menu. Then use the down button to scroll down and scroll
0:33
down until you find the system option and then once you select the system
0:38
press the GPS button. Here scroll down find the backlight option select it and
0:44
press the GPS button and then scroll down. And we have during activity, general
0:51
use and during sleep options. Select one for example during activity this option
0:56
basically allows you to customize the settings for the backlight when you're
1:02
tracking the activity on your watch. So if you're on a run or swimming and you're
1:06
tracking the activity this is gonna be affecting the watch then. So if you're
1:13
tracking an activity on your watch you're gonna customize the settings for it for that time on your watch. General use is of course when you're using your
1:20
watch normally not tracking anything just simply using your watch. And during sleep is when you have the sleep time set up on your watch and you can
1:28
basically adjust the settings for your sleeping. Okay let's select during activity first press GPS button and then scroll down and at the bottom we have
1:41
timeout. You can select it and press GPS and here we can scroll through the list
1:46
of timeouts by swiping up and down or other pressing up and down buttons
1:51
Select the timeout you want or duration rather and then press GPS button. And now
1:56
when I'm tracking the activity and I press the light button to wake up the
2:02
backlight or simply start using the watch and it's gonna be automatically
2:07
backlit. The backlight will turn off automatically after 15 seconds. Okay next we have general use. Select it, scroll down, select timeout, press GPS
2:21
and find the duration you like and then press the GPS button to confirm. So now
2:31
the backlight during the normal use will turn off after four seconds. So if we
2:35
turn it off and turn it on, wait four seconds, it should turn off like this as
2:42
you can see. Okay and the last option is during sleep and here you can customize
2:46
for it when you're sleeping and you can select the timeout of course, select the
2:52
duration and then once you're done you can press back button couple of times to
2:58
go back to watch face. And that's how you change the backlight timeout duration on
3:04
this device. Thank you for watching. If you found this video helpful please
