SETTING TIMEOUT FOR AUTOMATIC
SCREEN BLANKING
Your PL3000 turns off the screen after the specified periods of the ‘User Idle
Timeout’ and the ‘System Idle Timeout’ has elapsed, if there is neither user nor
user application activity during those timeout periods. The
‘System Idle Timeout’
alone specifies the period between the screen backlight blanking (note the mode,
see the section ‘Selecting Operation Mode of Screen Backlight’ on page 108) and
the screen turning-off. Although your device may look as if it were suspended after
turning off the screen, the rest of the unit stays on.
Before you begin, open the
‘Power’
control panel applet (see the section
‘Control Panel’ on page 30).
To set timeout for automatic screen
turning off:
1. Select
‘Schemes‘
page by tapping
the ‘Schemes’ tab.
2. Select
’Power Scheme’
to which
your timeout change applies, either
‘Battery Power’ or ‘AC Power’. That
is, a source of electricity on which the
device is running determines when
the setting is in use.
3. Select
the
’System Idle Timeout’
value being appropriate for your
needs
4. Press
the
‘ok’
key; new timeout value
is set.
Note!
Three timeout values for transition from one power state to another,
which can be specified on the ‘Schemes’ page, are associated with each
other. The ‘Never’ settings value disables the automatic screen turning-off.
In addition, it disables further transition to lower power state. (For more
information, see the section ‘Power States’ on page 43)
