Changing the Automatic Power Settings
The WPA1200 will enter idle mode when there is no task, or all tasks are waiting for input. In default setting, the
WPA1200 automatically turns itself off if it remains idle for 3 minutes and when there is no external charging
power connected. Pressing the power button returns the WPA1200 to the same point as it was at the time of the
automatic shutdown.

1. In the Power screen tap the

or

option to
select from a list of time periods. The available time periods are 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and never.
This function can also be activated when the WPA1200 is plugged into the power adapter or placed in its docking
station by tapping
