6.5 Adjusting Screen Brightness
There is a trackbar slider called ‘Backlight’ available on the ‘Misc’ tab in the ‘NID Backlight’ control
panel applet. Moving the slider affects directly the screen brightness in the full power state of the
device (i.e. the ‘On’ power state). When adjusting the backlit screen gives you immediate feedback
on the brightness in that power state. However, the adjustment also alters indirectly the screen
brightness level in the ‘UserIdle’ power state, which you can check for by waiting until the device
changes to the ‘UserIdle’ power state.
Before you begin, open the ‘NID Backlight’ control panel applet (see section ‘Control Panel’).
To adjust the brightness of the screen:
1. Select
‘
Misc
‘ tab
2. Move the ‘
Backlight
’ slider to find appropriate brightness level
3. If you want
to check
how your adjustment affects the screen brightness in
the ‘UserIdle’
power state
, wait for a little while until the ‘UserIdle’ inactivity timer expires (, assuming that
the timer expires within a minute or less).
4. Press the ‘
Activator
’ key; the brightness adjustment is finished.

Setting Timeout for Reduction in Screen Brightness’
6.6 Setting Timeout for Reduction in Screen Brightness
The backlight of the color backlit screen is a drain on the power. For that reason, the system has
tendency to start to reduce power consumption by reducing the screen brightness. If the devise
remains idle without any user input, a key press or stylus tapping on the screen, then after the
specified ‘User Idle Timeout’ period the device changes to the less power consumption state by
reducing the brightness of the screen’s backlight (for more information on UserIdle state, see
section ‘Power States’).
Before you begin, open the ‘Power’ control panel applet (see section ‘Control Panel’).
To set the timeout value for the reduction in the screen brightness:
1. Select
‘
Schemes
‘ tab
2. Select
’
Power Scheme
’ to which your timeout change applies, either ‘Battery Power’ or ‘AC
Power’. That is, a source of electricity on which the device is running determines when the
setting is in use
3. Select the ’
User Idle Timeout
’ value being appropriate for your needs (for more information
on ‘Never’ settings value, see section ‘Power States’ / ‘On’)
4. Press the ‘
Activator
’ key; new timeout value is set.
