System settings
System settings includes all system-related per-
manent settings. To enter the System settings
view, press Settings in the System main view. You
may define the settings of the following features
after selecting a feature and pressing Change.
Contrast control — The contrast view shows a
test picture and a set of commands that can be
used to adjust the picture. The ‘+’ command but-
ton increases the contrast. The ‘–’ command but-
ton decreases the contrast. When the setting
seems satisfactory, press OK.
Screen blanker period — The screen blanker peri-
od setting sets the time period after which the
display will blank out if the device remains inac-
tive. This feature saves the battery and increases
the communicator’s operation time. The time-
out value can be between 2 to 15 minutes. The
screen blanker cannot be turned off.
System sounds — Includes all the sounds in the
communicator. The available settings are:
All sounds — Ring / Beep / Silent/ Silent for.
The All sounds setting affects incoming call
alerts and other alarms on both interfaces,
with the exception of clock alarm.
With Silent for the communicator remains in
the silent mode until the time you have en-
tered there has passed. Use the format hh:mm.
