EM24 display is it backlit

Can the display of EM24 be backlit?

All pictures of this meter show its display nice and bright but in reality I cannot find the way for it to look like on those pictures.

My EM24 is located in very dark place and I have to use flashlight to read its display.

This model does not have a backlight, no mention in the manuals nor any options in the menus can be seen.

Yes, there is nothing about backlit display in EM24 info.

Than why all pictures of EM24 show backlit display?

To me it is false advertising.

So had you known this at purchase time, what would you have bought instead?

No I did not know this when buying it.

I would buy ET340 and saved some money.
