General Preferences; Auto-Off Delay; System, Alarm, And Game Sounds - Palm IIIe Handbook

General preferences

The General Preferences screen enables you to set the time, date, auto
shutoff interval, and sounds for your organizer.
See Chapter 1 for information on setting the time and date.

Auto-off delay

Your organizer 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 organizer.
If you find that your organizer 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: 1
minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.

System, alarm, and game sounds

Your organizer uses a variety of sounds. The System, Alarm, and
Game Sound settings enable you to turn the sounds on or off, and to
adjust the volume level.
To set the system and alarm sounds:
1. Tap the System Sound pick list and select the sound level.
Note: When you turn off the System Sounds, you also turn off
the "chime" tones associated with the HotSync operation.
2. Tap the Alarm Sound pick list and select the sound level.
3. Tap the Game Sound pick list and select the sound level.
