Re: why is screen staying on when it's attached to a power cable?

Is there some other setting I'm missing? How do I make it leave the screen off (or at least, only leave it on for a short while) when reminders come up while it's charging? I don't want it to burn the screen all night for no useful purpose.

Make sure you have the check box checked to turn off power on AC after X minutes.

Personally, I have my check box unchecked and leave the box checked to shut off the backlight after 2 mins. on AC. It makes a great clock for night use and it automatically dims after 2 minutes.

I have mine on a vertical stand at night so it works out perfect.
