• The display backlight goes off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
This Backlight Setting feature is controlled via the Turn off
backlight if not used for option. To review or adjust the
Backlight Time, tap Start, Settings, System tab, Backlight,
and then Battery Power (see Figure 10 on page 30).
• The PDA automatically switches off after 2 minutes of
inactivity. This Standby Time feature is controlled via the
Turn off device if not used for option. To review or adjust
the Standby Time, tap Start, Settings, System tab, Power,
and then Advanced tab (see Figure 12 on page 32).
The PDA also comes pre-loaded with the TETRA Explorer
application (see page 47), with features including visual
signal strength icon and connection status.
When the application is running it maintains communications
with the TETRA radio (modem). If the PDA tries to enter the
suspend state whilst TETRA explorer is running, the
application will try to maintain communications with the
modem. This can conflict with the PDA's operating system's
attempts to enter the suspend state and can cause the
TETRA radio (modem) to be switched off without warning.
No such conflict between TETRA Explorer and operating
system occurs when:
• The power management settings (Standby Time and
Backlight Setting) are left at their factory settings.
• The Standby Time remains greater than the Backlight Time.
For example: if you change the Backlight Time from 30
seconds to 2 minutes, you must increase the Standby Time
to more than 2 minutes. Similarly if you reduce the Standby
Time from 2 minutes to 1 minute, be sure that the Backlight
Time is set to 30 seconds.
• The TETRA Explorer application is turned off (see page 49).
The following additional steps maybe take to increase battery
operating time if required:
