Parameter Description

BackLight Defines the number of minutes the backlight remains on once the phone

becomes idle. The backlight illuminates if the phone rings or receives an

incoming call, if the user presses a button or lifts the handset, or if the

electronic hook switch is activated. If the phone has DND enabled or is

forwarded, the backlight does not illuminate as a result of an incoming call. The

BLF and SCA status group updates received on the phone do not cause the

backlight to illuminate.
