Device Basics
Using the Keyboard
When using the keyboard, most people find it easiest to hold the smart device
with two hands and to use the tips of both thumbs to press the keys.
Understanding the Keyboard Backlight
Your smart device includes a keyboard backlight for low light conditions. The
keyboard backlight activates automatically when the screen turns on. The
backlight turns off automatically when the screen turns off or when you are on a
call or playing music in the background for longer than the time specified in
Backlight Settings. You can set different time intervals depending on whether the
device is operating on battery power or is connected to an external power source.
The backlight also turns off when an application’s power-saving features turn it
off.
