Auto-off after: Determines how long your screen stays on during a period of inactivity. When there is no interaction with the keyboard or screen for the specified time period, your Centro turns off automatically.

Backlight during calls: To preserve power during an active call, you can set the screen backlight either to dim or turn off after a specified amount of time. Turning off the backlight saves more power than dimming it. With the backlight turned off, you can still see a faint image on the screen and use any of the buttons on the screen. To return backlight brightness to normal, press any key or tap the screen. Be careful; pressing Power/End hangs up an active call, and tapping an onscreen button activates that command.

Beam Receive: Determines whether your Centro is ready to receive information over an infrared beam. If you leave this option turned off, you must return to this screen to turn on this option the next time you want to receive a beamed item.

4Select Done.

TIP You can also access the brightness setting by pressing Option + P. To temporarily set the backlight to the preset low setting, press

Option + Menu.

Connecting to a VPN

If you want to use your Centro to access your corporate email account or other files on your corporate server, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) on your Centro. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer). You need a VPN client on your Centro if your Centro and your company’s server are located on opposite sides of the firewall.

Check with your company’s system administrator to see if a VPN is required for accessing the corporate server. If a VPN is required, you must purchase and install a third-party VPN client on your Centro to use this feature.
