Setting the Date and Time Zone
Note: The first time the MX7 Tecton is powered up, or the device powers up from a reset/cold boot, the time may be reset to the
factory default value.
Set the current date, time, time zone and assign a daylight savings location using control panels. Or double-tap the Date icon in
the taskbar to begin.
There is very little functional change from standard desktop PC Date/Time Properties options. Adjust the settings and tap the
OK button or the Apply button to save changes to the registry. Any changes take effect immediately.

The timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Sus-
pend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to "Never", the
power scheme timers never place the MX7 Tecton in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the MX7 Tecton
is idle).
Using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above, the cumulative effect results in the following:
• The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,
• The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15 seconds + 3 seconds),
• And the MX7 Tecton enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.
Setting Speaker Volume
The speaker is located on the front of the device, between MX7 and Tecton.
Function
An amount of time has passed, set by the User Idle timer, and the device shuts down a minimum
number of services e.g., backlights. The System Idle timer and the Suspend timer have not expired
yet.
An amount of time has passed, set by the System Idle timer, and the device shuts down a few more
services e.g., display. The User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer has not expired yet.
Suspend mode is entered when (1) the unit is inactive for a predetermined period of time, (2) the
user taps the Power key, or (3) Start > Suspend is chosen. Inactivity means that internal devices
that reset the power state are not active.
