Chapter 3 – Software Operation
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.
