    check panel lights

    I recently noticed that there are supposed to be lights for the check panel. I put the bulbs (3) in for the backlighting, and it lights only if there is a problem or the test button is depressed, stays on for a sec. or two then off. is this normal? It had no bulbs to begin with so I just don't know what it normally should do.

    A bulb that's lighted due to a problem should stay on until you fix the problem. The lights should also stay on as long as you are pushing the check button.

      I dont mean the led's. I am referring to the backlighting for the unit. It lights up the letters and lines.

        backlighting for the unit will only stay on for a few seconds after your press the check button. Otherwise it will not stay illuminated.
