Adjusting
Backlight Level
Setting Backlight
Idle Time
Take the receiver from the docking station and press the
Power button [8] until the screen lights up.
Let the receiver run its boot sequence. Wait until the screen
displays the Windows Mobile Today screen. At this stage, you
may be asked to initialize the receiver (screen alignment,
etc.). Just follow the instructions on the screen to complete
this step.
The operating system used in the receiver is Microsoft
Windows Mobile Professional version 6.5. For more
information on how to use the different applications, you can
visit the Microsoft web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/v6-5/Basics.aspx
Note that although made extremely visible on the Today
screen, the Phone function inherited from Windows Mobile
6.5 CANNOT be used in voice mode on this Ashtech
platform. The Phone function should however be activated in
some differential modes such as Direct IP or NTRIP (GPRS
connection required) or CSD (GSM connection required). See
Differential Mode on page 29).
The screen backlight may be adjusted to match the ambient
light for optimized visibility. You don't need the same level of
screen backlight in dark areas than in hot sun.
• On the Today screen, tap successively on Start, Settings,
System and Brightness.
• Drag the cursor to the right or left to set the screen
backlight to the desired level (between 0 and 10). The
resulting brightness is obtained when you release the
cursor.
• Tap OK to save your setting and return to the Today screen.
One way of saving the battery is to avoid those periods of time
during which the screen backlight is unnecessarily on.
