Optimizing Power Settings

Power Preferences enable you to adjust settings to maximize your device’s battery performance.

1.Press Applications and select Prefs .

2.Select Power.

3.Set any of the following preferences:

■Brightness: Sets the intensity of the screen and keyboard

backlights. Drag the slider or press Left and Right to adjust the brightness level.

■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 screen 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 device is ready to receive information over an infrared beam. If you leave this option off, you must return to this screen to turn on this option the next time you want to receive beamed information.

4.Select Done.
