How to "wake" Ipaq 2215 up after screen dims?

[straysheepie]

Total newbie, just received my Ipaq 2215 in the mail today...

After a little while, the backlight on the Ipaq dims, which is understandable - but I can't seem to get the backlight back ON unless I plug the charger in or place it in the cradle 8O

So say it's been in my pocket for a couple of hours, I take it out and the screen is dark - what do I do?

Thanks, help for a easy question like this is still much appreciated!

Hmmm, If you hold down the power button for (I think) two seconds - does that make a difference? This is the standard way to turn the screen on and off.

If this does not work, you may have a faulty device - I doubt this is the case - but you never know....

Ahh, it turns out there's a backlight setting for the Ipaq when it's in the charger and and a separate one when it's away from one - and that switch was turned waaaaaay down.

I'm such a newbie... :oops:
