Customizing Your Phone

Changing the Backlight Intensity

Backlight intensity on the phone has three components:

Backlight On

Backlight Idle

Maximum Intensity

You can modify the Backlight On intensity and the Backlight Idle intensity separately. You can select high, medium, low, and off levels for both.

When you modify the Maximum Intensity, you modify the entire backlight intensity scale. For example, if you decrease the Maximum Intensity, the low, medium, and high levels for both Backlight On and Backlight Idle intensities decrease.

The Backlight On intensity applies to following events:

Any key press

Incoming calls

Ending a call, holding a call, resuming a call by the other party

A voice message received

If you do not press any keys on the phone, after 20 seconds of the backlight turning on, the backlight dims (or changes) to medium in the following cases:

A call is in progress

A call is on hold

There is an incoming call (ringing)

There is an outgoing call (ringing back)

Any menu shows on the display

In all other cases, the Backlight Idle intensity applies.
