When I go into my PM5 to look at a workout or even to program something, if I don't push a button after a few seconds, the lit screen function turns off and I can't read the monitor. Is there a setting that will allow the monitor to stay lit longer?

Not that I'm aware of but obviously use the LCD contrast adjustment to make sure you can clearly see the display in normal daylight first.

You will probably find the back lighting stays on longer if you plug in a USB cable and run the whole monitor on a cellphone charger.

There is no backlight timer adjustment as yet and it turns off fast to save batteries.
