Power-saving mode
Enabling this mode will automatically adjust the brightness of the screen depending on what is being displayed in order to conserve battery
power. Disabling it ensures that you can maintain a constant brightness level, but results in shorter continuous play time. This function is
set to o by default.
Press and hold START, then press the following:
Up: Increase brightness
Down: Decrease brightness
Left: Disable power-saving mode
Right: Enable power-saving mode

Brightness levels and battery life
Increasing screen brightness will decrease battery life, and vice versa. Please bear this in mind when you adjust your brightness settings
(page 31).
Note: Because brighter screen settings require more power, the power LED may change from blue to red. If the battery is nearly empty, the system
may turn o suddenly.
