DIMMING THE DISPLAY AUTOMATICALLY
The display has a minimum brightness setting that it dims to when the Surveyor2 is idle for the
time interval indicated. The display backlight dims by 50% or more, so the display is still partially
visible. You can adjust the dim time interval (see the above screen image) for battery and/or
external power by selecting Battery Power or External Power on the top menu bar. Dimming the
display backlight saves battery power.
To bring the backlight back up to the full brightness setting, tap on the dimmed display.
Note: The Surveyor2 can be set up in subdued lighting (tactical) mode. Refer to Chapter 3 for
instructions.
TURNING THE SCREEN OFF AUTOMATICALLY
You can set up the display backlight to turn off after set intervals. Tap on the top title bar from any
screen, and select the battery icon from the list of applications that appears.
Alternately, type CTRL + P on the keyboard or go to the Power control panel by pressing Start >
Settings > System > Power. The Power Control panel can also be accessed from the Battery
Control panel by selecting the hyperlink power (see the previous Battery Power screen) near the
bottom of the screen where it says “Adjust Power Settings to conserve power.”
When using any of these methods, the Power control panel appears. Select Advanced from the
horizontal scrolling menu near the top of the screen. To enable this functionality, check the box
