Appendix 309
Display Brightness and Battery Life
Display Brightness
The display brightness of your ClassPad is adjustable. The initial default brightness setting after purchase is
“Medium”. Display brightness will dim automatically if you do not perform any operation for about 30 seconds.
Performing an operation will cause display brightness to return to normal.
For details about how to configure the display brightness setting, see “Chapter 18: System Application”.
Battery Life
Battery life is affected by the display brightness and backlight duration settings. Battery life is also affected by
how the ClassPad is used. Using a program to execute a long series of calculations, for example, will shorten
battery life.
