The General Preferences screen enables you to adjust various settings in order
to save battery power when your handheld is not connected to a power
outlet, and to set the position of the Input Area. The General Preferences
screen includes the following settings:
•
Auto-off after. Set when your handheld automatically shuts off. After
the selected period of inactivity, the power and backlight turn off to
conserve battery power. If you find that your handheld shuts itself off
before you finish reviewing the information on the screen, increase this
setting.
•
Stay on in Cradle. Determine whether to keep your handheld on
while it is connected to the HotSync cable or cradle and a power
outlet. Choosing Off causes your handheld to shut off after the Auto-
off interval (also set on this screen) expires.
•
Beam Receive. Indicate whether you want to prohibit anyone from
beaming information to your handheld. If you disable beaming, it
saves a little battery power. By default, Beam Receive is enabled.
