Using the backlight
When your handheld is on, a backlight illuminates your screen and enables you to
see the information, even under difficult lighting conditions. The backlight
brightness is initially set to high, but you can set the brightness to low to save
power. When you set the brightness, your handheld remembers your preference
until you change the brightness.
To set the backlight:
■
Press the power button and hold it down for about two seconds. Release the
button when the backlight brightness is set to your preference.
TIP
In addition, you can assign the full-screen pen stroke to set the backlight. See
“Pen preferences” in Chapter 7 for details.
