Operating the OmniBook

Using the OmniBook Display

	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 time-out period. If you use a screen 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 time-outs.

∙ If you are using ac power and have no external monitor attached, change to suspend or standby when the OmniBook is not in use.
