this will then bring you to the settings that manage when your device actually turns OFF the screen.. (not just dimming of the backlight, like under the 'Backlight' setting).

tinker with both of those settings.. i have my 'power' settings set to turn off after 2 mins...

hope this helps ?
Thanks, but I am not making my puzzlement clear. Your signature including the manual will help though, since I don't have one at all, and was looking for one.

To set the backlight to dim after a time delay
1.
Tap the Backlight icon ( ) on the Today screen, or tap Start > Settings > System tab > Backlight.
2. Tap the Battery power tab, or the External power tab.
3. Select the Turn off backlight if device is not used for check box, and specify the time delay.

It says it will turn the backlight OFF, but it also says it will only dim it. The 6700 seemed to turn it completely off after backlight timeout, though still visible in bright light. Not visible in the dark.
The 6800 seems to be visible in the dark, so not really turned OFF.
I am not talking about Power OFF, just backlight OFF. The 6800 seems to dim only, not turn completely off. I was afraid something was wrong with one of mine, but it seems that this is normal.
I thought my second 6800 was turning the backlight completey off at timeout, but I think that the Power OFF and Backlight OFF timers may have been set to turn OFF at the same time, so it looked like the backlight was turning completly OFF.

Just looking for confirmation that the backlight timer only dims, but does not turn completely dark.
