The backlight on my 817 display does not automatically shut off
anymore. I've ensured that "AUTO" has been enabled and have even
done the "master reset" a couple of times. Any ideas before I send
it off to Yaesu?

Hi Reg,

For both of my 817s, the backlight stays on all the time when powered
by an external source in the specified voltage range with the setting
in AUTO. When using the internal battery, the display goes off after
about 5 seconds when in AUTO.

I'm glad you cleared that up...I thought something was wrong with
mine, too! I have my check ready to mail for the suggested book! Jo

It isn't quite that simple... Seems (on mine at least) that if I have even a
few (less than FIVE) volts on the external power connector and the display
is in AUTO mode, the backlight will illuminate. The rig and backlight draws
power from the internal battery pack, and only microamps from the external
connector.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the info. Saved me sending the rig off.

Are you using INTERNAL batteries??--It is not supposed to turn off with
EXTERNAL power.

NOTHING is wrong, except you did not REMOVE the external power. The unit
will sense a very low voltage applied to the external port, and enable the
backlight--This is NORMAL, do not waste your time/money sending it back,
simply DISCONNECT the external power cable.

Also in the menu there is an option to turn the back lighting off.
The menu number is #10 "Backlight"
