screen dims on battery new inspiron e1705

 I recently purchased a inspiron e1705 laptop and the screen dims every time my battery isn't plugged in. Is there some place that I can change the power setting for the screen so this doesn't happen. I know the battery last longer when the screen is dimmer, but it is not worth the battery time with the screen so dim.
Thanks for any help.

    When running on the battery, hold down the Fn key (bottom left side of the keyboard) and then start tapping the up arrow until you get the brightness that you want.
     
    You can also reduce the brightness by holding the Fn key and start tapping the down arrow.

    The method I gave changes the brightness without having to go directly into the BIOS setup.  This way, the user can see directly how the brightness is going to appear while using it with their operating system and favorite programs.
     
    When they reboot, the system will remember where the setting was set.
