Automatic shut-down of the PA-6230

is no external charging power. Press the power button to return the PA-6230 to the same point
at the time of automatic shutdown.
In Power Properties, select “Schemes”. Customize automatic shut off time by tapping the
arrow to select from a list of time periods. The available time periods are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 30
minutes and never.
Activate this function when the PA-6230 is plugged into the power adapter or placed in its
cradle by tapping the check box and then tapping the arrow to select from a list of time periods.
