+oobnuker Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 As the title states, my backup GPSr is a Garmin Etrex Legend Cx and while I have no major complaints about it, my only gripe is that every time I turn it on, it starts with the backlight fully dimmed and I have to increase the brightness. I've tried adjusting the brightness controls in the setup of the unit for Day and Night, etc. but nothing seems to work. Is this normal behavior? Is there any work-around to make it start up bright? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment

Thanks for any help! I had the Legend HCx for a year and a half, its an excellent device...the answer to your question is - Yes, it always came on with no illumination. I didn't have a problem with that, I just kind of got used to it... Quote Link to comment
+oobnuker Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks for the response - I figured as much. Like I said, I have no complaints about the unit other than that - so life is good. Quote Link to comment

I assume you've already figured out you can press the power button after turn on and increase the back light once half bright, twice full bright? Quote Link to comment

Actually, the first press doesn't go to half bright. It goes to the brighness that you set in the user settings. The second press does go to full bright, though. Quote Link to comment
+oobnuker Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I did not know that at all! I did know I could hit it once and get the slider. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+GrateBear Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I used the Cx for years, and never even gave a thought about this "problem". Just turned it on and pushed the stick while it picked up satellites. Who knew it was supposed to be something to gripe about Quote Link to comment
