28 Getting Started
Calibrate the device
Calibrating the touch screen involves tapping the center of a cross with the
stylus as the cross moves around the screen. This process ensures that when
you tap the screen with your stylus, the tapped item is activated.
If your device does not accurately respond to screen taps, follow these steps
to re-calibrate it:
1.
Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.
2.
On the General tab, tap Align Screen and follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the calibration.
Manage screen settings
The device's display has the following orientation modes: Portrait and
Landscape. To change the orientation, tap Start > Settings > System tab >
Screen, and select the orientation you want.
Tip
To smooth the edges of screen fonts for many programs, on the ClearType
tab, select the Enable ClearType check box.
To increase the readability or to see more content on the screen, on the
Text Size tab, adjust the text size by moving the slider.
Switch your device to Sleep mode
Press and immediately release the POWER button to turn off the display
temporarily and switch your device to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends
your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save
battery power.
Your device also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the
device idle after a certain period of time.
To specify the timeout period before your device goes into Sleep mode
1.
Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Advanced tab.
2.
Under On battery power, make sure the Turn off device if not used
for check box is selected.
3.
Select the battery timeout period, then tap OK.
To quickly change the screen orientation, you can also tap the Rotate Screen
icon in HTC Home's Launcher. See "HTC Home" later in this chapter for details.
