To change the cradle setting:
■ Tap the Stay on in Cradle check box to leave your handheld on when it is in the
cradle.
System, alarm, and game sounds
Your handheld uses a variety of sounds. The System, Alarm, and Game Sound
settings enable you to turn the sounds on or off, and to adjust the volume level.
To set the system and alarm sounds:
1. Tap the System Sound pick list and select the sound level.
IMPORTANT When you turn off the System Sounds, you also turn off the “chime”
tones associated with the HotSync operation.
2. Tap the Alarm Sound pick list and select the sound level.
Tap the Game Sound pick list and select the sound level.
The Game Sound setting works only with games that are programmed to
respond to this setting. Older games typically do not respond to this setting.
Alarm vibrate and indicator light settings
You can set alarms in Date Book, Clock, and Note Pad to remind yourself of
important meetings or notes. When you enable the Alarm Vibrate and indicator
light settings, your handheld vibrates and the indicator light blinks to notify you
of alarms. This is useful for situations where you want to turn the Alarm Sound off,
but still be notified of alarms.
To set the Alarm Vibrate and indicator light settings:
1. Tap the Alarm Vibrate pick list and select On or Off.
2. Tap the Alarm LED pick list and select On or Off.
Beam Receive
You can choose to turn off the Beam Receive feature. This prohibits anyone from
beaming information to your handheld. It also results in a slight saving of battery
power.
To change the Beam Receive setting:
■ Tap the Beam Receive pick list and select On or Off.
Date and Time preferences
The Date and Time Preferences screen enables you to set the date, time, time zone,
and Daylight Saving option on your handheld.
