Backlight
First, please check your backlight settings to make sure everything is correct. From the Main Menu, go to Settings, then Display, and make sure that your Backlight is set to "On" or "Auto" and that your Motion Backlight option is enabled.
Pebble's backlight can be activated in three ways:
-
Pressing a button
-
Tapping on the watch face - the accelerometer needs to register a quick jerk in two directions to activate the backlight. To do this, please tap at the bottom of the watchface so that it gets the up and down motion. If you tap straight down on the watchface, your wrist will prevent the necessary movement.
-
A swift flick of the wrist - this method may take some practice. Again, the accelerometer needs to feel a quick motion in two directions to activate.
If you are unable to activate your backlight using at least one of the three methods above, please try completely draining the battery.
Instructions:
-
Completely discharge the Pebble so that it shuts down.
-
Try to turn on the Pebble with the select button, if you see the Pebble logo and the watch turns off by itself keep holding the select button until the watch no longer turns on with the Pebble logo.
-
After verifying that the watch is completely discharged, please charge your watch and turn it on and test the motion sensor.
If that doesn't work, please Contact Support. Be sure to mention that you have read and tried the suggestions in this article.
