General preferences

The General Preferences screen enables you to set the auto shutoff
interval, alarm options, sounds for your PC companion, and the Beam
Receive feature.
Auto-off delay
Your PC companion has an automatic shutoff feature that turns off the
power and backlight after a period of inactivity. This feature helps
conserve battery power in case you forget to turn off your PC
companion.
If you find that your PC companion shuts itself off before you finish
reviewing the information on the screen, you should increase the time
setting of the automatic shutoff feature.
To set the Auto-off delay:
1. Tap the Auto-off pick list.
2. Tap the setting you want to use for the automatic shutoff feature:
30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.

Cradle settings

You can choose to leave your PC companion on when it is in the cradle
during a HotSync operation, or when you are recharging the battery,
so you can continue to view your data.
