adjusted separately on the phone and on the phone's web interface for the times when the devices are
active and when they are idle. For the phone's display you also have the option to to use the built-in
ambient light sensor to automatically adjust the backlight's intensity in accordance with the ambient
light within the sensor's detection area.
