Using the OmniBook Display
|
| The OmniBook display normally turns off when you close the display lid. To make the |
|
| OmniBook suspend instead, see the section “Using the OmniBook Display” in the online |
|
| Reference Guide. |
|
|
|
|
| To adjust the display brightness |
|
| The OmniBook uses special key combinations, called hot keys, to control brightness. |
|
| ∙ Press Fn+F1 to decrease the brightness. |
|
| ∙ Press Fn+F2 to increase the brightness. |
|
|
|
Hint | To maximize your battery operating time, set the brightness to the lowest comfortable | |
|
| setting, so that the internal light uses less power. |
|

|
|
|
| To extend the life of the display |
|
| Observe the following guidelines to maximize the life of the backlight in the OmniBook |
|
| display. |
|
| ∙ Set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting (Fn+F1). If you are using an |
|
| external keyboard, Fn = left CTRL + left ALT. |
|
| ∙ When working at your desk, connect an external monitor and turn off the internal |
|
| display (Fn+F5). |
|
| ∙ Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the OmniBook from |
|
| changing to Suspend or Standby mode after a |
|
| saver in Windows 95, 98, or 2000, enable the option to shut off the display after a |
|
| time delay. |
|
| ∙ Do not disable Suspend or Standby |
|
| ∙ If you are using ac power and have no external monitor attached, change to suspend |
|
| or standby when not in use. |
