[llwade]

I am not sure what is going on, but after 15-seconds, the screen is going black.
If I press any key, the screen comes back.

He did.

Backlight Options The scanner will turn on/off the LCD and the Keypad backlight automatically according to backlight settings. You can override these settings and turn on the backlight by pressing Vol on the SDS200, or the light button on the SDS100.

Set Timer Determines how the backlight acts with squelch and key presses.

Squelch (event)

Off - The backlight stays off when the squelch opens (default). 5 sec - The backlight stays on 5 seconds after the squelch opens. 10 sec - The backlight stays on 10 seconds after the squelch opens. 15 sec - The backlight stays on 15 seconds after the squelch opens. Open Squelch - The backlight stays on only when the squelch is open.

Keypress (event)

15 sec - Turns the backlight on for 15 seconds when you press any key. 30 sec - Turns the backlight on for 30 seconds when you press any key. 60 sec - Turns the backlight on for 60 seconds when you press any key. 120 sec - Turns the backlight on for 120 seconds when you press any key. Infinite - The backlight stays on until you press again.
