Note that operating the backlight at a higher percentage uses up the battery power more quickly.Color Mode —Select between Daytime, Nighttime, Auto, or Custom for your viewing preferences. Daytimeshows a bright and lighter background. Nighttime shows a black background for less intensity in a darkenvironment, which provides easier viewing while driving at night. Auto allows your Quest to automati-cally switch between the two, depending on the time of day as well as the Quest’s calculation of sunrise andsunset.
