The options available from the Power menu are as follows:
Suspend mode
When you press the Power key to turn off the handheld, the handheld goes into
Suspend mode. This is a low-power mode that maintains the main memory contents
and keeps applications running but does not allow you to operate any of the
handheld’s functions. The handheld appears to be turned off. The integrated GPS
receiver is turned off and any application using GPS is disconnected.
To turn on the handheld when it is in Suspend mode, press the
Power key. The
handheld is immediately ready for operation. There may be a delay of up to 30 seconds
while the integrated GPS receiver automatically reactivates.
You can configure the handheld to automatically enter Suspend mode when it has
been idle for a specified time. By default, the handheld is set to enter Suspend mode if
it is not used for three minutes.
To change the time before the handheld enters Suspend
mode:
1. Tap the battery icon in the title bar of the
Today screen. The Power control appears.
2. Tap the Advanced tab.
3. From the On battery power option, select the Turn
off device if not used for check box and then select
the idle time from the drop-down list.
4. Tap
OK.
