dimming a FF screen? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lowprofile · 09-06-2012, 01:02 AM

apparently the elite 4 does not have an adjustable backlight. its praised for is "led light, brightest screen on the market" but i cant turn it down. or seem to figure out how. the thing is blinding in the dark and actually makes me sea sick in some chop.

thinking i might have to get some kind of clear, dark container or a tinted screen to put over it.

It should have 10 levels of adjustment. Hit the power button and a little screen should pop up with: backlight, power off, etc ... Scroll down to backlight and adjust.

also in the menu you can find the night vision: black back ground instead of white or go with the blue back ground.

Its usually a $60 service call.....

For you my BWE friend I will read the owners manual for only twenty bucks. Let me know when you want to come over.

I have the same fish finder. You can adjust the brightness of the screen by pushing the power button. Each time you push it the screen will dim.

You charge extra for the HDS unit?
