Backlights
Backlights illuminate the display and the keypad. When you press
any key or open the phone, the backlights come on. They go off
when no keys are pressed within a period of time set in the
Backlight menu.
Note: During a phone call, the display backlight dims and turns off after 10
seconds to conserve battery power, regardless of the Backlight setting.
