Each setting page shows the value you chose. The settings are saved and stay after a restart.

Trouble?

  • The bottom button says BACK instead of DONE → you have not changed the value yet; tap an arrow first.

  • The screen looks dim in daylight → that is normal for e-paper; the front light is for dark rooms.

  • Brightness seems to change by itself → Adaptive brightness is Enabled; disable it for a fixed level.
