Backlight Intensity and Timeout
You can change settings for the following backlight components:
• Backlight Intensity—The brightness of the screen during phone activity and inactivity.
• Backlight Timeout—The number of seconds the phone is inactive before the backlight dims to its
Backlight Idle intensity. The backlight timeout period begins after your last activity, such as an
incoming call.
Backlight Intensity includes the following settings you can choose from:
• Backlight On—The brightness of the screen when there is activity.
• Backlight Idle—The brightness of the screen when there is no activity.
• Maximum Intensity—The brightness scale that applies to both Backlight On and Backlight Idle
intensities.
This feature is not available on VVX 101 phones. Check with your system administrator to find out if this
feature is available on your phone.
Set the Backlight Intensity
You can change the Backlight On intensity and the Backlight Idle intensity separately. You can also
choose a high, medium, or low intensity, or turn off the backlight entirely. When you change the Maximum
Intensity, you modify the entire backlight intensity scale. For example, if you decrease the Maximum
Intensity, the low, medium, and high levels for both Backlight On and Backlight Idle intensities decrease.
