As the receiver automatically counts the time during which
neither the keypad nor the touch screen is active, you can set
the receiver to turn off the backlight automatically after a
certain idle time.
• On the Today screen, tap successively on Start, Settings,
System and Backlight.
• Choose the idle time before the backlight is turned off
(10 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 to 5 minutes). For
maximum power saving, you may clear the option that re-
activates the screen backlight on touching the screen or
pressing a key.
Different settings may be made for these two parameters
depending on the power source used (battery or external).
• Tap OK to save the settings and return to the Today screen.
A better way of saving the battery is to allow the receiver to
switch to Suspend mode automatically after a certain period
of inactivity.
• On the Today screen, tap successively on Start, Settings
and Power.
• Tap on the Advanced tab. This tab allows you to ask for the
receiver to switch automatically to Suspend mode if it
stays idle for the period of time you choose. You may
choose a different setting depending on whether the
receiver is powered from the internal battery or from an
external power source.
• Tap OK to save the settings and return to the Today screen.
It's a good idea to customize your receiver so that it complies
with a number of local preferences, such as country's
currency, decimal point representation, time and date
formats, etc.
• On the Today screen, tap successively on Start, Settings,
System and Regional Settings.
• On the Region tab, select your country.
• Use the other tabs to set your local settings:
– Number format
– Currency choice
– Time and date formats
• Tap OK to save the settings and return to the Today screen.
