BRIGHTNESS:
The Day slider lets you dim the screen; this is ideal for a darkened room where you don't want the screen to be too bright. If you're really sensitive to light when you sleep, use the Night slider to make the Night mode screen even darker. As you drag either slider, you're shown how the screen will look.

TOUCHSCREEN: Select this to calibrate the touchscreen. If you make a mistake during the calibration and can't interact with the screen, wait until the first calibration screen reappears and then try again.
