Display settings: adjusting the backlight

The Ranger 5 data collector is equipped with a high brightness outdoor readable display. You can easily increase the brightness of the display to increase the readability of the device in bright sunlight conditions, or turn down the brightness to help conserve battery power when working indoors or in dull conditions. You can also have the device automatically adjust the backlight power depending on the ambient light conditions.

To adjust the backlight settings, and turn Adaptive brightness off / on:

1. Open the Settings app .

2. Tap Display.

3. Tap the setting that you want to change.

Manually adjusting the backlight brightness
