To change the screen brightness on a MetalMapperII Panasonic Toughpad:
1) If you want to type easily, plug a keyboard into the USB socket in the side of the toughpad. Otherwise, use the screen keypad.
2) Open a terminal window (using the Applications menu).
3) Type the following command:
sudo bash -c "echo 892 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness"
You will need to enter a password, which is the default password for the standard user. To set different levels, replace the number 892 with other numbers. 892 is the maximum number allowed; lower numbers will result in a dimmer screen.
The change should take place immediately.
Then close the terminal window and return to normal use.
