Backlight
If poor light conditions make the display or channel numbers (around
the 16-Position Select knob) difficult to read, turn on the radio's
backlights by pressing the Light button.
These lights will remain on for a preprogrammed time before they turn
off automatically, or you can turn them off immediately by pressing the
Light button again.
