The power-saving settings you can update are:

∙Office Hours When you start work and how long you’re in the office each day. For more information, see Changing Your Office Hours.

∙Timeouts The period of time the phone should be idle before the touchscreen turns off. For more information, see Changing Timeouts.

Changing Your Office Hours

Update your office hours so the phone knows when you are in the office. When you update your office hours, you specify when you start, and how long you work each day.

To change your office hours:

1Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Basic > Power Saving > Office Hours > Start Hour.

2From the Start Hour screen, tap the day of the week you want to update, enter your start time, and tap Save.

Enter a start time using the 24-hour clock. You can enter a start time from 0 to 23.

3From the Office Hours screen, tap Duration.

4From the Duration screen, tap the day of the week you want to update, enter the number of hours you work, and tap Save.

Enter a duration of 0 to 12 hours per day.

Changing Timeouts

You can update the period of time the phone is idle before the touchscreen turns off. You can specify different timeouts for office hours (Office Hours Idle Timeout) and non-office hours (Off Hours Idle Timeout). By default, the Office Hours Idle Timeout is much longer than the Off Hours Idle Timeout.

You can also specify a separate timeout period that applies after you press a key or tap the screen. This is called the User Input Idle Timeout. You can choose to set a higher User Input Idle Timeout than the Office Hours and Off Hours Idle Timeouts so that when you’re actively using the phone, power-saving mode won’t initiate as often.

User Tip: Determining Which Idle Timeout Applies

If you press a key or tap the screen, the idle timeout period that applies (User Input Idle Timeout or Office Hours/Off Hours Idle Timeout) is the timeout with the highest value.

To change timeouts:

1Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Basic > Power Saving > Timeouts.

2Tap Office Hours Idle Timeout, and enter the number of minutes the phone should wait, during office hours, before starting power-saving mode. Enter a number between 1 minute and 600 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
