There seems to be 3 states, namely:
1. Off/standby where screen is completely blank and buttons disabled
2. Screen on minimum brightness
3. Screen on standard brightness
To switch it on, I have to push On/Off button twice. Once to go from standby/off to minimum brightness, and then once more to actually see the screen.
To switch it off, I have to push the On|Off button once then have to wait until it times out and goes into standby mode. In the meantime the buttons are still active, which causes problems if it is in my pocket. |
From what I'm reading, you're pressing and holding the power button. That doesn't turn the unit off, it just turns the backlight on and off. Press the power button once and release it to turn the unit on or off. It will maintain its last level of brightness.
