The amount of time it will stay dimmed would simply be the difference between the dim-screen time setting and power-off time setting. For example, I have mine set to dim after 3 minutes of inactivity and turn-off after 5 minutes.

I should point out that if I am not mistaken, 15 minutes is the longest amount of time that the Axim can go unattended before it shuts down (unless you clear the check box which disables the auto-shutdown). I would recommend against this since if you happen to forget about it, the Axim's battery would completely drain and you would lose all data/programs in internal RAM.

It would probably be better to let the Axim shutdown rather than just dimming the screen. Shutdown is really more of a suspend mode. This is why your Axim is always using a small amount of power, even when shutdown. Pressing the power button or one of the 4 small buttons would bring it back to life.
