How to extend the life of the display.

To adjust the display

Some models of the OmniBook include these brightness controls:
• Press Fn+F8 to decrease the brightness.
• Press Fn+F9 to increase the brightness.
To maximize your battery operating time, set the brightness to the lowest
comfortable setting, so that the internal light uses less power.

To extend the life of the display

Observe the following guidelines to maximize the life of the backlight in the
OmniBook display.
• Set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting (Fn+F8).
• When working at your desk, connect an external monitor and turn off the
internal display.
• Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the OmniBook from
changing to Suspend or Standby mode after a time-out period.
• Do not disable Suspend or Standby time-outs.
