Is there an easy way to keep the back light on when using XCSOAR and

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
=95 Open "Backlight Control" and set High backlight (max)
=95 You don't need to change timeouts in the two upper boxes,
=95 because those values are controlled by "Display Properties".
=95 Exit "Backlight Control".
=95 Open "Power Properties".
=95 Powerscheme: AC Power
=95 set to "Never" all controls.
=95 Exit "Power Properties".
=95 Open "Display Properties"
=95 Select "Backlight" tag
=95 Select "Automatically turn off backlight while on external power",
and
=95 set it to 30 minutes, then exit with Ok.
=95 Open again "Display Properties"
=95 Select "Backlight" tag
=95 DESELECT "Automatically turn off backlight while on external
power".
=95 Exit with Ok.
=95 Open "Backlight control" again, you will see that "AC power and
device is idle for"
=95 box is now EMPTY, correctly. Don't do anything . Press Ok.

Many thanks it now works perfectly
