APX APX 6000 Front Display won't turn off while on

[nokoa3116]

I have an APX 6000. I am curious, I saw on videos that people had the backlight completely off. For me it just dims it a little bit, it's still on and can be read just fine at night. I have auto light on, and display light time set to 30 seconds. I am just wondering if there is some issue, am I missing a setting, or is this how it's intended? I think I am just being silly, I never noticed it because I liked it like that. But was wondering why waste battery on the display if the radio sits in a case/holster.

If you look in the CPS under

Radio Ergonomics Wide > Radio Profiles > Select a Profile > General > Uncheck "Permanent Front Display Backlight"

This should turn the backlight off completely when it would only dim before. It helped save battery on my APX 8000XE.

And you can create profiles, one with dim display one with it off etc.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for, not sure how I didn't notice it was there before.
