Trying to enable LCD backlight on this panel. It's mounted in a dark closet...I can see the lighted keys just fine but can't read the LCD without a flashlight. It's fairly new, still under warranty - is it simply broken? I've scanned all the manuals and find no mention of a display backlight. I could really use a hand here - thanks!

It's mounted in a dark closet?
who put it in there?
Yes...I put it in there to make it less accessible to an intruder with a hammer or something. I have a remote keypad near the front door. There's no light in this closet (power is running along the baseboard in wiremold, I plan to install power in this closet later).
It just seems a little odd that they'd make the keypad lighted but not the display. I'll have to take a look at the LCD module, maybe it has a backlight provision.

lets read the OP message
"I'll have to take a look at the LCD module, maybe it has a backlight provision"
he want to look INSIDE the keypad to take a look at the actual LCD part,to see if the manufacturer of the LCD display incorporated a backlight provision that is not used in the Simon 3 design...
Man,is it me or am I the only one that really read the post and understand the words?
the worst is that English is not even my mother language..
Right...not that I want to void my warranty or anything - I could just get a battery powered lamp or something. Someone told me (a friend who is a professional installer) that the Lynx has an LCD backlight, but he's probably thinking of another panel, so that's why I asked.
Can't be Fowlers then, he only puts em under the bed
Is that where you house your installers and salesman?
