Is there an easy way to keep the back light on when using XCSOAR and the
HP312, mine keeps reverting to back light off.

I have tried setting it on in the Road mode.

Here's what a friend gave me. I have tried this and it works, but if
you let the 310 boot without the SD card in the slot, you will have to
do portions of this over again. I keep a print out of this in my
cockpit, just in case I boot without the card accidentally.

To set the backlight of the iPaq on:

From Windows CE desktop, Start - Settings - Control Panel
• Open "Backlight Control" and set High backlight (max)
• You don't need to change timeouts in the two upper boxes,
• because those values are controlled by "Display Properties".
• Exit "Backlight Control".
• Open "Power Properties".
• Powerscheme: AC Power
• set to "Never" all controls.
• Exit "Power Properties".
• Open "Display Properties"
• Select "Backlight" tag
• Select "Automatically turn off backlight while on external power",
and
• set it to 30 minutes, then exit with Ok.
• Open again "Display Properties"
• Select "Backlight" tag
• DESELECT "Automatically turn off backlight while on external
power".
• Exit with Ok.
• Open "Backlight control" again, you will see that "AC power and
device is idle for"
• box is now EMPTY, correctly. Don't do anything . Press Ok.
