Chapter 5: Configuring The netpad
Power and Power Saving Mode
•
Standard
This option will automatically switch off the netpad when the time set in
the Switch off after box is reached, if there has been no user action on
the netpad for that time period. (This is the same as the Yes option in
Automatic switch off).
•
Standard (no radio)
This selection switches the netpad off in the same way as the Standard
option, but also switches off the radio, with the result that there is no
communication between the netpad and the radio. This option is used to
turn off the radio when you are entering areas where radio emissions are
not permitted, such as a plane or a hospital.
•
Screen only
This mode switches off the LCD to save power, but enables the radio
unit to switch it on for an incoming transmission from the radio network.
Selection of the Screen only mode allows the user to select Beep on
screen off and Clicks when screen is off. These functions are selecting
by placing a check in the white box (see details below).
Beep on screen off
This selection will cause the unit to emit a loud beep if there has
been no user action or radio transmission when the time set in the
Switch off after option is reached.
Clicks when screen off
Once the netpad has entered the Power Saving mode by
switching off the LCD, the speaker on the netpad will click
every second to let the user know the netpad is in the LCD power
saving mode.
If Beep on screen off and Clicks when screen off are not enabled, the
netpad will switch off when the time in the Switch off after option is
reached, but there will be no sound warning that the netpad is still active.
The LCD will automatically come on with incoming transmissions to
the radio.
