Pressing the back light button on my DCS remote control turns the remote off. This is an interesting feature. My train room is well lighted, so I rarely use the back light; just happened to press it today while the train was running, and the remote turned off. A simple matter of turning the remote on, but then the throttle wheel needs to be adjusted. Tried it a couple more times, same result. Battery level is good.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I can hypothesize 3 possible causes:
When you press the button, does the Backlight come on at all, even if briefly? If so, that would point to #1 above more than #2 or #3.
Barry, the backlight does not illuminate at all. The backlight used to work; I probably haven't turned it on in a year.
I've noticed when the batteries are low, the backlight button will turn the remote off.
The batteries do have too much room to roam in the battery compartment, I have to put a thin piece of foam in behind the cover to keep the remote from turning off just by setting it down on a table.
I'm betting it's one of these, I suspect Barry's list is correctly ordered. 
I installed new batteries. OK now. Thanks for the replies.
