Saving Battery Power

Automatic shut-down of the PT-9X30

The PT-9X30 enters idle mode when there is no task or if all tasks are waiting for input. In

default setting, the PT-9X30 automatically turns itself off if idle for 9 (1+3+5) minutes and

when there is no external charging power. Press the Power button to return the PT-9X30 to

the same point at the time of automatic shutdown.

In Power Properties, select Schemes. Customize automatic shut off time by tapping the arrow

to select from a list of time periods. The available time periods for battery power are 1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 10, 30 minutes and never.

Activate this function when the PT-9X30 is plugged into the power adapter or placed in its

cradle by tapping the check box and then tapping the arrow to select from a list of time periods.

The available time periods for AC power are 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and never.

Backlight Setting
Because the power consumption of the LCD backlight is high, turn off the backlight function

when it is not necessary. If a backlight is required, set “automatically turn off the back-light.”

To change the backlight setting, select Start Settings Control Panel, and then double

tap the Timeout&Brightness icon.
