Backlight time-out: Th
e backlight is on by default while you are
using the PDM. The time-out setting dims the backlight and
causes the screen to dim when you have not used it within the
time interval that you set. Set at the lowest setting to maximize
battery life.
Set PDM options
1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons
to choose Settings, then press Select.
2. Choose System setup, then press Select.
3. Choose PDM options (Figure 6-13), then press Select.
4. Choose one of the options (Figure 6-14), then press Select.
Set ID screen
To c
hange the ID:
1. Choose ID, then press Select.
2. Press the Up/Down Controller buttons to scroll through the
list of characters. An up-and-down arrow symbol on the
screen indicates the character you are changing.
3. Press the middle Soft Key (labeled with the right arrow) to
move the underscore to the next character.
4. Enter each character one at a time. For example, if you want
to enter your name, you might enter J, a, n, e, [space], S, m, i, t,
h. (A blank character or space is the first and last option in the
scrolling menu.)
5. Press Save.
For extra brightness on the PDM screen, press and
hold the User Info/Support button (?) for 2 seconds.
This enables a “bright mode.” The screen will remain
in this mode until the PDM times out or you turn it off.
To preserve battery life, use this feature only when
necessary.
As a safety feature, an ID must be entered to enable
the PDM to be identified.
