910xt screen light 2 taps...
Quote | Reply
Likely alot of folks already know this, but I stumbled across it last night.. so i thought i'd mention it..

If you tap the 910xt twice, the back light comes on for a brief period....just on the screen no need to press buttons..

It may be clear in the instuction but i didn't pick uip on it or remember it.. and its made checking progress in betwen set prompt distances alot easier...
Was pleasantly surprised when it happened....

Still won't reliably display Stages power data when on the arm tho.. pooo..... ah well can't have it all..

Thanks for sharing that! I'm usually pretty thorough about reading manuals for my sporting equipment, but I must have missed that one - cheers!

Sadly only works when running, and not on virtual pacer screen. Just press enter.

I can't seem to get mine to work. Does it only happen when in run mode? And I assume you have to have the activity started?

Wow that's an awesome trick. Mine works in "Other" without the GPS on or activity started. It's just showing the time right now.

You have to make sure that the backlight is turned up (one push of the power button brings up the backlight "slider bar"). If it is set all the way down the double tap will not work.

Here's a quick video I did.

You can also just shake your wrist and the light will come on.

Does it beep when you do this? Every once in a while, I'll jostle my 910xt and it beeps for no obvious reason -- no change of modes or data screens. It's usually daylight, so I've never noticed if the light also comes on. This is pretty awesome if it works.

It doesn't beep for me. Mine requires two pretty strong taps, so I usually just turn on the back light with one press of the power button.
