Lite, use your stylus to adjust the Backlight Brightness
Level slider, located under the Light bulb icon, halfway
across to the middle position.

Turn off the backlight. On the Today screen, tap the Light
bulb icon > Battery Power tab; then set the backlight to turn
off soon after you stop using the device.
■
Leave the device set to turn off after not being used for a short
period of time. On the Today screen, tap the Battery icon >

in the shortest acceptable time.
