General Preferences

General Preferences let you adjust various settings to save battery
power when your watch is not connected to a power outlet. The
General Preferences panel includes these settings:
• Auto-Off After. Your Wrist PDA watch
goes into sleep mode (auto-off) after a
brief period of inactivity (when you do not
use the stylus or press any buttons). If you
select Watch as the auto-off display mode
(see page 88), the time automatically
displays when the watch is in sleep mode.
If your watch often goes into sleep mode
before you finish viewing information on the screen, increase
the time delay. Tap the list; then select the delay option: 30
seconds, 1 minute, 90 seconds, or 2 minutes.
• System Sound. Tap the list to turn system sounds, such as
the synchronization tones, On or Off.
• Alarm Sound. Tap the list to turn Date Book alarms tones
On or Off.
• Game Sound. Tap the list to turn game tones On or Off.
NOTE: The Game Sound setting typically works only with newer
games that are programmed to respond to it.
• Beam Receive. Tap the list and choose On or Off to indicate
whether you want to be able to receive beamed information
from other devices. See page 91 for more on beaming.
• Contrast. Tap this button to adjust the screen contrast
setting. Tap and drag the slider to the desired position; then
tap Done.
