Default Codepage:
A codepage describes the way extended characters that are not
available within the ASCII character set are encoded. ID3v1 tags do not have
a codepage encoding contained so Rockbox needs to know what encoding has
been used when generating these tags. This should be “ISO-8859-1” but to sup-
port languages outside Western Europe most applications use the setting of your
operating system instead. If your operating system uses a different codepage and
you are getting garbled extended characters you should adjust this settings. In
most cases sticking to “ISO-8859-1” would be sufficient.

7.6.2. Battery
Options relating to the batteries in the player.
Battery Capacity:
This setting can be used to tell Rockbox what capacity (in mAh)
the battery being used has. The default is 1000mAh, which is the capacity value
for the standard batteries shipped with the player. Rockbox uses this value to
estimate remaining battery life for the info screen and WPS. Changing this set-
ting has no effect whatsoever on actual battery life. This setting only affects the
accuracy of the battery life estimation as shown on screen.
Battery Type:
This setting tells Rockbox which type of battery is currently used in the
player. The two supported battery types are “Alkaline” or “NiMH”.
7.6.3. Idle Poweroff
Rockbox can be configured to turn off power after the unit has been idle for a defined
number of minutes. The player is idle when playback is stopped or paused. It is not
idle while the USB or charger is connected , or while recording. Settings are either O

or 1 to 10 minutes in 1 minute steps. Then 15,30,45 and 60 minutes are available.
