a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD's screen is not illuminated

It is not uncommon for equipment which has been operated under periods of darkness to be switched OFF or for the circuity supplying power to a MFD to be switched OFF while the MFD's backlight level is in a reduced setting. This often causes the operator to believe that the MFD's backlight circuitry has malfunctioned when the MFD is next powered ON, when it is in fact still operating with the reduced backlight level. To restore the c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD's backlight level to maximum brightness,
1) power the MFD ON and wait a couple of minutes to complete startup initialization;
2) press and quickly release the MFD's POWER button to display the Shortcuts menu (note: you may not see the menu because of the backlight level setting)
3) rotate the MFD's UniController or RMK-9/10's UniController knob several turns in the clockwise direction

Should the procedure above not result in the c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD's backlight level being restored, then it would be recommended that the product be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked / serviced.
