Setting the General preferences

The General Preferences screen enables you to set the auto shut-off interval, alarm options and sounds for your CLIÉ handheld.

Setting the automatic shut-off time

Your CLIÉ handheld has an automatic shut-off feature that turns off the power after a period of inactivity. This feature helps conserve battery power in case you forget to turn off your CLIÉ handheld. If you find that your CLIÉ handheld shuts itself off too early or too late, you can increase or decrease the time setting for the automatic shut-off feature.

By default, your CLIÉ handheld will turn off after two minutes of inactivity and will be on as long as it is connected to the cradle.

1 Tap General from the drop-down list on the Preferences screen.

The General Preferences screen is displayed.

2 Tap the arrow V next to Auto-off After and select the desired time setting for the automatic shut-off feature.

You can select 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.

3 If you want to leave your CLIÉ handheld turned on while it is connected to the cradle, make sure that the check box next to “Stay on in Cradle” is selected. To turn it off automatically, clear the check box.
