Be aware that three timeout values for transition from one power state to another, which can be
specified on the ‘Schemes’ tab, are associated with each other (for more information, see section
‘Power States’). In addition to the fact that the ‘Never’ settings value disables the feature of saving
battery energy by decreasing the screen brightness, it also disables all the transitions to lower
power consumption states.
Note
that this setting also affects the keypad’s backlight in the ‘On’ power state.

6.7 Setting Timeout for Automatic Screen Turning-off
The device turns off the screen after the specified periods of the ‘User Idle Timeout’ and the
‘System Idle Timeout’, if there is neither user nor user application activity during those timeout
periods. The ‘System Idle Timeout’ alone specifies the period between the reduction in the screen
brightness and the screen turning-off. Although your device may look as if it is suspended after
