    Hello everyone,
    I don’t understand the standby function of the backlight. How does it work? If I use On or Off I can’t see a difference.

    Has anyone an idea?

    Thanks,
    Alexander

      @festigrat Did you try it in a dark environment? The standby backlight is very faint in daylight, but more than suffice for darker environments.
      Normal backlight is more powerful

        @festigrat Also, do you have “Do not disturb” mode on by any chance? Because if you do, standby backlight is deactivated regardless on the settings.

        SV: fingers crossed :D
        S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
        Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
        Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

              Ok, I think the Suunto 9 Peak has additional features. I can only chose On or Off. Can someone please tell me what happen if I chose ON or OFF? What is the result? I can’t see a difference.

                @festigrat The Suunto 9 Peak does have more options because it has a light sensor. The Suunto 9 Baro however has a subset of those options and should behave the same.

                What firmware version has your watch?

                  It has the newest firmware. The problem ist, that I don’t understand the manual and I don’t understand how it should behave.

                    @festigrat With standby to ON the watch should always (except in Do-Not-Disturb mode) enable a very faint backlight to improve readability of the watch. Especially when it gets dark.

                    With Standby to OFF the watch doesn’t enable a backlight and thus conserving a little power. Only button presses and incoming notifications enable the backlight for about 10 sec.
