Auto-off after
Your handheld has an automatic shutoff feature that turns off the power after a
period of inactivity. 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 can increase the time setting of the automatic
shutoff feature.
To set the Auto-off after interval:
1.
From the General Preferences list, select Power.
2.
Tap the Auto-off after pick list.
3.
Select the setting you want to use for the automatic shutoff feature: 30 seconds,
1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.
4.
Tap Done.
On While Charging setting
You can choose to leave your handheld on when it is connected to the HotSync
cable, or when you are recharging your battery, so that you can continue to view
your data. By default, your handheld remains on when it is connected to the cable
and to a power source.
To change the On While Charging setting:
1.
From the General Preferences list, select Power.
2.
Tap the On While Charging pick list.
3.
Select Off to turn off your handheld when it is connected to the cable.

beaming information to your handheld. It also results in a slight saving of battery
power. By default, Beam Receive is enabled.
To turn off the Beam Receive feature:

From the General Preferences list, select Power.

Tap the Beam Receive pick list.
