Defining LCD Options

The SETLCD utility defines certain options for your LCD

screen:

The backlight period-You can turn off backlighting on the

LCD screen if the computer is not used for a period of time;

this prolongs the battery’s charge.

The gray scale-You can select one of four available gray

scale modes. The gray-scale mode governs the way your

LCD screen displays color information.

The reverse video mode-You can display in normal mode,

white on black, or in reverse mode, black on white.

Backlight Period

Use the SETLCD program to specify a backlight period, which

is the length of time the LCD screen remains illuminated before

the computer turns it off. Initially, the screen is always on.

When the computer turns off the screen’s backlighting, the

screen is in standby mode.

To conserve the battery’s charge when you are running your

computer without the AC adapter, specify a backlight period

using the SETLCD program. The backlight period is a number

of minutes from 1 to 60.

You can change the value for the period of time the computer

waits before darkening the screen using the SETLCD program.

To specify a backlight period, type the following at the system

prompt:
