OH, and I have been all over them about the light going off when on hold. They always came back that it saves battery time. my reply:
Why did you have to figure we are too stupid to turn the light off if we want the battery to last longer. Once again, let it be our choice. I use an external power source in the field. I like to have the unit on hold so, I don't accidentally have it turn off while on my bag. I also need to know that for some reason the unit hasn't frozen or stopped on its own. Your thinking takes away that ability
answer: We will forward your concerns to the proper channels.
I did a pre-emptive strike and complained about the backlighting. I figured that way when I move from my MT24/96 to the MTII, the problem will hopefully be fixed. According to their answer it has been fixed. Can anyone confirm this. I have left the ticket open pending what those who have one have to say...

Backlight
This menu sets the automatic shutoff time for the MicroTrack II backlight. Since the backlight drains more battery
power, you have the ability to automatically turn the light off to maximize your battery life.
When set to “Always off,” the backlight will never turn on. When “Always on” is selected, the back light will be on
whenever MicroTrack II is powered on. The other three settings available on this menu determine the amount of
time the backlight will stay on after the last control is pressed on MicroTrack II. For example, if “5 sec” is selected,
the backlight will turn on any time a button is pressed on MicroTrack II. The back light will then turn off 5 seconds
after the last button is pressed.
► NOTE: If the dimmer switch on the side of MicroTrack II is set to the Off position, the
backlight will never turn on no matter what setting is selected in this menu.
