This may sound obvious, but could the lamps be blown?
Normally backlights are always on or will come on if a control is moved.
It's possible that there is a function somewhere to permanently turn
them off, but it's unusual. I'd expect them to come on at least briefly
during the power on sequence.
The Odetic's Satsync 325 LCD backlight comes back on (after sleep) when
any button is pressed but can be put on permanently by pulling out the
contrast knob - not exactly obvious. I'd check the backlight filaments
first. I've had this problem on an R&S EMI measuring receiver. It also
had "bleeding" LCD's but just for a change they were standard type
displays that were available from RS or Farnell!

Hi everyone,

Last weekend I picked up a R&S SMG signal generator (100kHz-1GHz) at a 
Ham-fest. It works great, and after a bit of puzzling, I've worked out 
how to operate it, but there is one thing that keeps eluding me: how do 
you turn on the LCD backlight? The R&S brochures from back then all show

the device with nicely backlit displays. Would it require one of the 
'special' codes that R&S was (is?) using in their user interface? The 
displays are rather hard to read at the moment.

Of course I've already looked at Bama, some other manual sites and 
Googled around, but no luck so far. So if someone could please tell me 
how to switch the lights on? Of course, a complete manual would also be 
very welcome.

Regards, Paul Boven.
