Palm TREOPROBLKSPT manual Understanding the Backlight, Entering Lowercase and Uppercase Letters

Understanding the Backlight

Your smartphone includes both a keyboard backlight and a screen backlight for low light conditions. Both backlights turn on when you turn on the screen. The keyboard backlight turns off automatically after 30 seconds. When you use the keyboard again and the screen is already awake, the keyboard backlight turns on for another 30 seconds.

The screen backlight remains on until there is no keyboard or stylus activity for 30 seconds, and then the screen dims. The screen backlight turns off automatically when the screen turns off or when you are on a call or are playing music in the background for longer than the time specified in Backlight Settings. The screen backlight also turns off when an application’s power-saving features turn it off. You can set different shut-off intervals depending on whether the smartphone is operating on battery power or is connected to an external power source.

To change the screen backlight shut-off interval, do the following:

1.Press Start and select Settings.

2.Select the System tab, and then select Backlight .

3.On the Battery Power tab, select a shut-off interval from the list.

4.Select the External Power tab and select a shut-off interval from the list.

5.Press OK .

Tip
