you can use the PEN*KEY computer in local edit mode,
which is a feature of the VT330/VT340 terminal. Local edit

You can use the firmware’s setup menus to set the length of
time the backlight stays on before the PEN*KEY comput-
er’s backlight “goes to sleep” to conserve power. Refer to the
PEN*KEY computer’s user’s guide for more information
about backlighting.

NOTE: The longer the backlight stays on, the sooner the battery will need to
be recharged.
