Can you see the time at night without having to turn on the display?

No its not backlit at all times, but touching any button on the face will backlite it for about 10 seconds. Backlighting also comes on when a alert is issued as well as the top lights Green (advisory) Orange (watch) Red (Warning)

Yes, if you go to the settings icon, you can access a menu which allows you to set the brightness of the display.

Yes - make sure you push the "TIME" or "TEMP" button first then the display will blink - you can then change time/ temp by pushing the up/ down buttons.

no, it does not have a backlight, but then I have not had to use one to read meter during daylite hours

No. The light does not work well and the display can barely be seen in natural daylight. I can not recommend this product and would not buy it again.

absolutely...easy to read at night or daytime. We live in Florida and have no problem reading the display !

I believe there is a clock, but it does not display in standby, which is odd. In fact, you have to press a button to display the clock, so I rarely saw it or utilized it.

Hi, I can't see it at night. I have good eyesight and frustratingly, through the years I have been gullible enough to purchase different brands of these NON-seeable clocks!! Also, the onesthat are seeable require that you reach for the clock and press a button...how ridiculous is that on a cold night?...A highly Un-recommended product.

The only way I can display the clock time is to turn the little power switch to off. Somebody else said there was some type of screen saver that reverts back to the clock when listening to the radio. I haven't discovered how to do this yet. It's frustrating not seeing the Clock display while listening to the various stations. Otherwise I love this radio. I think a techie designed the clock rather then talking to regular users.

Not needed during the day as I have some lighting from outside. If I want it on during the night time I can turn it on.

Yes it does have 4 settings including off so it does not show the display at all. I have not used that one but I keep mine on low and you can barely see it during the day and it is dim enough for me at night but I can still see it.

It does display the time when not playing. I have not played with it enough to know if you can display it at other times.

I believe there are three digital display settings, and the darkest one is off. But I haven't tried that because I want to see the time in the morning. I have it on dim and it's great.

No. I need good light to see the display when setting it. Minor inconvenience in my opinion. I have 4 of them and have to set them all for time changes and seasonal adjustments. I keep the manual (a scanned copy if the in-box instructions) on my computer for reference.

Yes, there is a system setting for that. Press [SRC] to enter STANDBY.Press the volume knob to enter [FUNCTION].Turn the volume knob to make a selection then press the knob at: CLOCK DISPLAY-ON: The clock time is shown on the display even when the unit is turned off.-OFF: No clock display when unit is off

I don't see that it shows the time. However, the display times out and the display size is tiny, so it would be difficult to use even it does display time.

I'm not aware of this function being available. The nightlight looks pretty simple, so I would be shocked if there was any ability to control the timer.
