Backlight control has two options: automatic and manual. In manual mode, you
adjust the backlight brightness to suit ambient conditions that are not likely to
change.
In the automatic mode, you let the ambient light in the area of the m40L/m46L
determine the image brightness. This is useful when the m40L/m46L is in a location
that sometimes has daylight, which can vary.
When there is less ambient light, the screen can be darker and still be easily read.
When there is more light, the screen must be brighter to see it clearly.
The backlight is optimized for the LCD operation. For normal operating conditions,
the backlight can be adjusted for maximum brightness if desired. If you are operating
at higher altitudes up to 2000 meters, it is recommended that you run the backlight
at a reduced intensity. Running at maximum intensity at high altitudes can affect the
lifetime expectancy.
To extend the backlight life, it is recommended that you use the lowest backlight
