Basic functions
Illumination / display dimming
The keyboard and display are lit. The illumination is activated each time a key is pressed or a call is
made; it remains lit for a user-definable amount of time. To prevent the display illumination from
switching itself off completely after that time, you can activate the display dimming. The illumina-
tion then remains lit at a weak level. This setting does however reduce the battery life. You can make
changes in the Menu

Activating the display illumination
If the display illumination is switched off completely, you can activate it using one of the three keys
below the display (softkeys) without triggering the function stored under that key.
