Brightness of the Display / Backlight Saver Function

• Brightness
Select a value from [1] to [8] (initial setting is 2). The larger the value, the brighter
the display becomes.
• Saver
Select [Dimmer], [TimeOff], or [NotOn] (do not use) for the LCD backlight saver.
Dimmer: LCD backlight is automatically dimmed.
TimeOff: LCD backlight is automatically turned off.
• Time
Select a value from [1min], [2min], [5min], [10min], [30min], [1h] (initial setting is
1h). If the specified time elapses without any key operation, the LCD backlight is
automatically dimmed or turned off.
• Restore
Key: The backlight returns to the original brightness on a key operation.
Key + Alm: The backlight returns to the original brightness on a key operation or an

Note
• When the backlight is dimmed or completely off, the backlight saver function causes it to
return to its original brightness whenever you press any key on the FX100. When doing so,
the key’s primary function is not carried out.
• The degradation of the brightness and the discoloration of the screen (become yellowish)
tend to progress faster as the brightness is set higher. Extended use at an unnecessary high
setting should be avoided. It is also recommended that the backlight saver be used.
