Switching to Sleep Mode

Quickly pressing the Power Key turns off the display temporarily and switches your device to sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power.

Your device also automatically goes into sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain amount of time.

To specify the timeout period before your device goes into sleep mode:

1.Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Advanced tab.

2.Under On battery power, make sure the Turn off device if not used for check box is selected.

3.Select the battery timeout period, and then tap OK.

You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in sleep mode. Pressing the Power Key again or new incoming calls or messages will wake up your device.

Calibrating the Device

Calibrating the device screen involves tapping the center of a cross with the stylus as it moves around the screen. This process ensures that when you tap the screen with your stylus, the tapped item is activated.

If your device does not accurately respond to screen taps, please follow these steps to recalibrate it:

1.Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.

2.On the General tab, tap Align Screen, and follow the instructions on the screen.

Key Lock

It is possible to lock the buttons on the device, so that the applications may not be accidentally launched. Once you enable this feature, only the Power Key can turn on your device.
