Screen Saver
• Enabled - Toggle On and Off.

Screen Saver will display on the screen. Programmable between 1 and 720 minutes in
software, when disabled the screen will remain on permanently (enter 0 to disable).
• Saver Type - Only available when the Screen Saver function is active. This is set to
Normal.
• Dim Saver - Only available when the Screen Saver function is active. Dim Saver will
help to increase the life of the backlight and lower the screen brightness for night time
use. Use Saver Brightness or Off Always.
• Saver Level - Only available when the Dim Saver function is set to Use Saver Bright-
ness. Select this to use the instant dimming slider which lowers the screen brightness.
Default screen brightness is 80%. Adjustable between 10% and 100% of full brightness.

will double the backlight life. If you reduce the saver level by 50% you will quadruple the
backlight life. Normal backlight MTBF at 100% brightness is:
• •
SIREC D300 55,000 hours (86,500 at 80% brightness)
