Setting Backlight Timeout

[ENTER]. The Display Options window opens on the Display
tab, as shown in Figure 7-5 on page 7-12.
2. Press the [
T] key three times to reach the Backlight Off text
box.
3. Then press
[ENTER] to enter the box.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the number of minutes that the
backlight remains on (from 0 to 60).
5. Press
[ENTER] to confirm the entry.
• To confirm the entries and return to Operate mode, press [F3]
(OK).
• To leave the window without confirming the entries and return
to Operate mode, press
[F2] (Cancel) or the [ESC] key.
Note: You can turn the backlight on or off at any time by
pressing the power switch for 1 second.
