Adjusting Display Panel Brightness

Once you have turned on your Tablet PC, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a

more comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to adjust the brightness: keyboard and power

management utility.

Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness

Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the

function keys automatically changes the brightness settings in the system’s Pen and Tablet Settings).

• [Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.

• [Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display.

Note that changing the brightness with the [Fn] key is temporary. When you resume or restart, you will

need to reset them if you used this method.

Using Power Management to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness with the power management utility in Windows 7:

Click Start -> Control Panel. In View by:, select one of the icon views. Select Display, then click Adjust

brightness in the left pane. Drag Screen brightness: bar to the left or right, depending on your preference.

IF USING AC POWER, YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL BY DEFAULT. IF USING

BATTERY POWER

, YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO APPROXIMATELY MID-LEVEL BY DEFAULT.

HE HIGHER THE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL, THE MORE POWER THE NOTEBOOK WILL CONSUME AND THE

FASTER YOUR BATTERIES WILL DISCHARGE

. FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, MAKE SURE THAT THE

BRIGHTNESS IS SET AS LOW AS POSSIBLE
