Adjusting the backlight

The TSC7 controller / Ranger 7 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 set the backlight to adjust automatically:

  1. Tap / Settings / System / Display.

  2. Turn the automatic adjustment on or off using the toggle switch.

  • Press Fn+7 to increase the display brightness

  • Press Fn+4 to decrease the display brightness

Alternatively:

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen or tap Action center on the taskbar to open the Action center, then expand the quick-access icons if they are collapsed.

  2. Tap the brightness icon to adjust the display brightness setting.

    • If the backlight is not set to adjust automatically, the backlight cycles between 0%, 25%, 50%, and 100% power.

    • If the backlight is set to adjust automatically, the backlight cycles between Darkest, Darker, Suggested, Brighter, and Brightest.

    Tap until you reach the backlight level that best suits your conditions.

You can also manually adjust the backlight setting from the Display dialog:

  1. Tap / Settings / System/ Display.

  2. Use the brightness level slider to fine tune the display brightness level.
