Backlight Period

In order to conserve the battery’s charge when you are running your

computer without the AC adapter, your screen is designed to go
blank after a preset period of inactivity. Initially, that period is two
minutes. If you don’t press any key on the keyboard for two
minutes, the screen’s backlighting is automatically turned off. To

turn it on again, press any key. To do this without disturbing a

program running on your computer, press

Shift, Ctrl,

or

Alt.

You can change the period of time the computer waits before
darkening the screen to any value between 30 seconds and five
minutes, in half-minute increments. You can also disable the
automatic screen darkening feature by selecting an unlimited
backlight period. To change the backlight period, highlight

Backlight period

on the setup program’s main menu, then

press

Enter.

The following display appears:
