timeout: sets the length of time before the backlight turns off

Good morning, everyone.

Garmin is a US GPS maker and Garmin Fenix is a GPS watch. A passage from its owner manual:

Backlight settings:
Hold "up" and select "Settings>System>Backlight."
Mode: sets the backlight to turn on manually or for keys and alerts.
Timeout: sets the length of time before the backlight turns off
Brightness: sets the brightness level of the backlight.

Does "timeout" sound natural and correct in this context?
