Setting the Auto-off interval time
You can set when your Acer s10 automatically shuts off. Your Acer s10 automatically
turns off the power and backlight after a period of inactivity, to conserve battery

To set the Auto-off interval time:
1 Tap the Auto-off after pick list.
2 Tap an option — 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.
Setting your Acer s10 to stay on while in the cradle
You can choose to leave your Acer s10 on when it is in the cradle during a HotSync
operation, or when you are recharging your battery, so you can continue viewing your
data.
To set your device to stay on while in the cradle:
• Tap the Stay on in Cradle check box to allow your Acer s10 to stay on while in
the cradle.
Unchecking the box will cause your Acer s10 to shut off after the Auto
shutoff time interval that you set.
Setting the sounds and volumes

system alerts, alarms, and games using the General Preferences screen.
