The backlight button on the Polar FT1 is activated by pressing and holding the mode selection button. After activating the backlight, a button press will turn on the backlight in any mode. The backlight will automatically turn off after five minutes if no button is pressed. During training, you can also turn on the backlight using the HeartTouch feature.
