Use this utility to control various power-management features of the PDT 3200. You can
use it at the command line or in a batch Þle (including AUTOEXEC.BAT) to set or read
power-management settings.
Syntax
PM [/b # ] [/f # ] [/h] [/i] [/r] [/t#]
Options
/b#
Sets the automatic timeout for the backlight. Replace the # with the number of seconds to
wait after a keypress before automatically turning off the backlight. Each keypress restarts
the timeout countdown. The range of acceptable values for # is 0 (off) to 255; the default is
15 seconds.
/f #
Sets the time interval for audio indication when the batteries are low. Replace the # with
the number of minutes between sounding of the tone. The tone will not sound until the
battery has been in the low state for the same number of minutes. The range of acceptable
values for # is 0 (off) to 255; this option is off by default.
Note:
The audio warning uses extra current, causing the
batteries to drain faster. Therefore, you might want to
set the interval for as long as possible or not use it at all.
/h
Displays a help Þle for the utility.
/i
Displays timer settings for auto-off, backlight timeout, and low-battery audio indication.
/r
Resets power management to the cold-boot defaults.
