whichwaysup Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hey folks, been meaning to ask this question for awhile now and keep forgetting. The other day, I started fishing pre-dawn and put my Lowrance HDS unit in night mode (or maybe I just dimmed it way down, can't remember). Anyway, a few hours later, it's bright out and guess what? I can't see my screen. There is no button for adjusting the brightness or turning off night mode, and I can't see the screen to see the menu . . . catch 22. I turned the unit off, then on, and it stayed in night mode/dim mode. There has got to be a manual workaround to get the screen bright again without having to navigate menus you can't see. Anyone know any tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have a HDS 12, you hit the power button once and a screen pops up with a number of options including screen brightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ififish Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Throw a dark towel over the screen and your head until you can see to adjust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINCHASER Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Actually tapping the power button will cycle thru all pre programmed brightness levels (3 Ievels I think) so just keep hitting it till it gets bright enough to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Juice Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Bruh, you have to change that $#!T back before it gets light. Our guys do it at work all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
