In order to reach the lowestlevel of power consumption, the mailing system can be manually switched "Off" while still plugged into the wall. Toggle the "On/Off" switch to "Off" when not using the mailing system for an extended period of time. When switched back "On" expect some delay for a normal reboot to assure that the entire system is ready to go.

This option allows you to specify how long the system can remain inactive before the display turns off. You can set the timeout for 1 - 30 minutes, in 1 minute increments. The default timeout is 5 minutes.

The display turns on again when you press any key on the control center or if you place mail in the feeder or on the scale (either integrated or attached external scale).
