sure the battery charge status is at least 50% before
taking your receiver for a field job.
• When you are done with the charging of the battery,
disconnect the USB cable from the receiver, put the AC
adapter safe away and proceed to the next step.
Adjusting
Backlight Level
and Idle Time
Backlight Level: The screen backlight may be adjusted to
match the ambient light for optimized visibility. You don’t
need the same level of screen backlight in dark areas than in
hot sun.
Backlight Idle Time: One way of saving the battery is to avoid
those periods of time during which the screen backlight is
unnecessarily on. As the receiver automatically counts the
time during which neither the keypad nor the touch screen is
active, you can set the receiver to turn off the backlight
automatically after a certain idle time.
Follow the instructions below to set these two parameters:
• Press the Windows key and tap successively on Settings,
System and Backlight.
• Tap on the Battery Power tab.
• Drag the cursor to the right or left to set the screen
backlight to the desired level (between Dark and Bright).
The resulting brightness is obtained when you release the
cursor.
• Tick the Turn off backlight if device... check box and then
choose the idle time before the backlight is turned off
(10 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 to 5 minutes)
Note that the backlight level and idle time can be set to
different values for when the receiver is operated from an
external power source instead of its internal battery. You
can make these settings after tapping on the External
Power tab.
•Tap OK to save all your changes and return to the previous
screen.

Management
A better way of saving the battery is to allow the receiver to
switch automatically to Suspend mode after a certain period
of inactivity.
