Advanced backlight
Your computer is delivered preset with the optimal settings for most
users. For those users with special needs, such as optimizing operation
in dark environments, the Advanced Backlight settings allow for optimal
backlight performance. To make modifications to the backlight settings,
click on the Advanced Backlight button.
To help you optimize the settings for
your special needs, the red tick mark
on the red line indicates the current
ambient light level. If the tick mark is
located to the left, there is little
ambient light. As the ambient light
becomes brighter, it will move further
to the right.
Backlight adjustment
Sliding the pink line left or right will
set the light level at which you want
the backlight to go off. If the
ambient light is greater than this
setting (i.e. ambient light is to the
right of this line) the backlight is
turned off. If the ambient light is
less than this setting (i.e. to the left
of this line) the backlight will be on.
Note: You will only be able to move the pink line within the “Sunlight”
range of the light meter indicated at the bottom.
