Sleep modes
Light Sleep 
Your Controller will go into light sleep to preserve the battery life when it is unused for a 
specified period of time. The screen will turn off until motion is detected or a button is 
pressed. Use the Sleep Timer Docked (Controller is connected to power supply) and 
Undocked (Controller is not connected to power supply) settings to select the amount 
of time after which your Controller will enter light sleep. 
Deep Sleep 
Your Controller will go into deep sleep to preserve the battery life when it is unused for a 
specified period of time. When your Controller wakes from deep sleep - either from the 
motion sensor or from a button press - it will go through a restart cycle that takes 
several seconds. Use the Deep Sleep Timer setting to select the amount of time after 
which your Controller will enter deep sleep. 
Motion Sensor 
The Controller has a motion sensor to automatically wake your Controller when motion 
is detected. If you shake the Controller, you may hear the motion sensor make a slight 
rattling sound. This is normal. If you wish to disable the motion sensor, select System 
Settings>Controller Settings>Advanced Settings>Motion Sensor. You can choose 
to disable it all the time (Off), or just when the Controller is seated in the cradle (Off 
While Charging).
Turn off Controller
Use this setting to put your Controller into deep sleep anytime it will not be in use for an 
extended period of time, or when you are transporting your Controller to another 
destination. This setting puts the Controller into deep sleep mode immediately, 
bypassing the deep sleep timer setting. The Controller cannot be turned off while it is 
connected to the AC adapter or charging cradle. From the Music menu, select System 
Settings>Controller Settings>Advanced Settings>Turn off Controller.
