I've got the 705 and enabled the auto pause. The other week I managed to get the back light to come on with the auto pause which was handy to see heart rate etc when waiting at traffic lights. I can't get it to do this now and the owners manual is useless.
Any of you chaps/chapesses know how to do this?
I haven't sussed out how to email/download routes etc yet either but that can wait for another day!
One last comment, the basic maping that comes with it is completely crap :evil: If your thinking of buying one of these devices you need to factor in the cost of the upgraded maping :twisted: :twisted:

We got one for my Mrs to use.
I think, once the unit it turned on, if you lightly press the on off button, then use the joystick to toggle to required brightness it should stay on0 -
Thanks for the reply. I can get it to come on by pressing the buttons but I want to get it come on automatically with the auto pause kicks in0

I think on the 305, you need to turn message alerts on. The light turns on with each alert. I doubt the 705 will be too different.0

Once the unit is on, press the On/Off button twice - this will set the backlight to 50% brightness. Each time the unit beeps (autostart, coursepoint etc) the backlight should come on for 30 seconds.0
