Sleep modes

Light Sleep
Your Controller will go into light sleep to preserve the battery life when it is unused for a specified period of time. The screen will
turn off until motion is detected or a button is pressed. Use the Sleep Timer Docked (Controller is connected to power supply) and
Undocked (Controller is not connected to power supply) settings to select the amount of time after which your Controller will enter
light sleep.
Deep Sleep
Your Controller will go into deep sleep to preserve the battery life when it is unused for a specified period of time. When your
Controller wakes from deep sleep - either from the motion sensor or from a button press - it will go through a restart cycle that takes
several seconds. Use the Deep Sleep Timer setting to select the amount of time after which your Controller will enter deep sleep.
Motion Sensor
The Controller has a motion sensor to automatically wake your Controller when motion is detected. If you shake the Controller, you
may hear the motion sensor make a slight rattling sound. This is normal. If you wish to disable the motion sensor, select System
Settings>Controller Settings>Advanced Settings>Motion Sensor. You can choose to disable it all the time (Off), or just when the
Controller is seated in the cradle (Off While Charging).

Turn off Controller

Use this setting to put your Controller into deep sleep anytime it will not be in use for an extended period of time, or when you are
transporting your Controller to another destination. This setting puts the Controller into deep sleep mode immediately, bypassing
the deep sleep timer setting. The Controller cannot be turned off while it is connected to the AC adapter or charging cradle. From
the Music menu, select System Settings>Controller Settings>Advanced Settings>Turn off Controller.
