Deep discharge (Non-FM recorders only)
Set this to ON if you intend to keep your charger connected for a long period of
time. It lets the batteries go down to 10% before starting to charge again.
Setting this to OFF will cause the charging to restart on 95%.
Trickle Charge (Non-FM recorders only)
The jukebox cannot be turned off while the charger is connected. Therefore,
trickle charge is needed to keep the batteries full after charging has completed.
For more in depth information about charging see Battery FAQ in your /.

Disk
Options relating to the hard disk.
Disk Spindown: Rockbox has a timer that makes it spin down the hard disk
after being idle for a certain time. You can modify this timeout here. This idle
time is only affected by user activity, like navigating through file browser. When
the hard disk spins up to fill mp3 buffer, it automatically spins down afterwards.
Disk Poweroff: (non v2/FM-Recorders only) Whether the disk is powered OFF or
only set to “sleep” when spun down. Power off uses less power but takes longer
to spin-up.
Time and Date (Recorder Only)
Time related menu options.
Set Time/Date: Set current time and date.
Time Format: Choose 12 or 24 Hour clock.
Idle Poweroff
Rockbox can be configured to turn off power after the unit has been idle for a
defined number of minutes. The unit is idle when playback is stopped or paused. It
is not idle while the USB or charger is connected, or while recording.
Sleep Timer
This option lets you power off your jukebox after playing for a given time. This
setting is reset on boot.
Wake up alarm (Recorder v2/FM only)
This option turns the Jukebox off and then starts it up again at the specified time.
This is most useful when combined with the Resume setting in the Playback options
set to “Yes”, so that the Jukebox wakes up and immediately starts playing music.
Use LEFT and RIGHT to adjust the minutes setting, UP and DOWN to adjust the
HOURS. PLAY confirms the alarm and shuts your Jukebox down, and STOP cancels
setting an alarm. If the Jukebox is turned on again before the alarm occurs the
alarm will be canceled.
Limits
This submenu relates to limits in the Rockbox operating system.
Max files in dir browser: Configurable limit of files in dir browser (file buffer
size). You can configure the dir size to between 50 and 10000 files in steps of 50
files. Default is 400, higher values will shorten the mpeg buffer.
