Chapter 21 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld
320
General preferences
The General Preferences screen enables you to set the auto shutoff interval, alarm
options, sounds for your handheld, and the Beam Receive feature.
Auto-off delay
Your handheld has an automatic shutoff feature that activates after a period of
inactivity. This feature turns off the power and backlight but leaves the radio on.
This feature helps conserve battery power in case you forget to turn off your
handheld.
If you find that your handheld shuts itself off before you finish reviewing the
information on the screen, you should increase the time setting of the automatic
shutoff feature.
To set the Auto-off delay:
1. Tap the Auto-off After pick list.
2. Select the setting you want to use for the automatic shutoff feature: 30 seconds,
1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.
Cradle settings
You can choose to leave your handheld on when it is in the cradle during a
HotSync operation, or when you are recharging the battery, so you can continue to
view your data.
To change the cradle setting:
■ Tap the Stay on in Cradle check box to leave your handheld on when it is in the
cradle.
