Set LCD White Luminance
Help Index
Usual Setting
On LCD displays White Luminance may be adjusted by the Backlight control. The
Backlight control is often identified with a “sun” symbol. To begin, set this control to
its maximum value.
The Purpose of This Step

The Long Answer
If your display has a function to reset the Backlight control to its Factory Default value
