Welcome! In front of me I have Garmin Forerunner 55 and I'm gonna show you how
0:05
to change the screen backlight duration on this device. Basically how quickly the backlight will turn off after we turn it on. Usually by
0:19
default it's like a couple of seconds. Basically the backlight will be
0:23
turned on or stay on for a couple of seconds and then it will turn itself off
0:28
like this. And we can customize this duration make it longer or shorter. To do
0:34
it we need to open the menu so let's press and hold the menu button to open
0:38
the menu. Once the menu opens you can scroll through the menu by pressing the
0:43
up or down buttons. Scroll through the menu find the option called the system
0:49
select it and press the start slash stop button. Here scroll down find the option
0:54
called backlight select it and press the start slash stop. And here we have
0:59
two options during activity and not during activity. During activity is basically we can customize the backlight settings for the watch when we're
1:09
tracking the activity. So when you're tracking like run, cycling and stuff like
1:14
that when you when there is active activity tracking on your watch then you
1:19
can customize the backlight settings for that time. And not during activity is
1:24
basically any times else when you're not using the or not tracking the activity
1:29
on your watch. Select one of the options for example not during activity then
1:35
press the start button and here we have options scroll down through them find
1:40
the option called timeout select it and press the start slash stop. And here we
1:45
have list of durations 8 seconds 15 seconds 30 seconds 1 minute no timeout
1:51
Select the option you like for example 15 seconds and then press the start
1:55
slash stop to apply it. And now the screen or the backlight should stay
2:03
on for 15 seconds before it turns itself off. So we can turn it on it's barely
2:10
visible but we can turn on the backlight and if you wait 15 seconds
2:21
it should turn off like this. Okay and once you're done you can also change
2:32
the settings for the during activity if you want. So basically it's the same as
2:35
not during activity you select during activity enter scroll down you have
2:41
timeout select timeout and select the duration like this. And once you're done
2:46
setting up the duration press the back button couple of times to go back to
2:51
watch face. And that's how you change the screen backlight duration on this device
