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.
