Backlighting
As long as you are actively using your device, the backlight will stay on.
After you stop using your device, the backlight will stay on for 15 seconds,
but you can change this setting:
1 Press
JUMP to go to the Jump screen. Press MENU then select
Settings > Battery & Display.
2 In the Display Backlight group box, open the Dim after pop-up menu
and select a timeout option, up to five minutes. The lower the time, the
more battery power you will conserve.
3 By default, the Use ambient light sensor check box is selected. This
conserves battery power by causing the backlight to automatically
adjust to the surrounding light.”
