Saving Battery Power
Automatic shut-down of the PT-60
The PT-60 enters idle mode when there is no task or if all tasks are waiting for input. In
default setting, the PT-60 automatically turns itself off if idle for 3 minutes and when there is
no external charging power. Press the power button to return the PT-60 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 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 30
minutes and never.
Activate this function when the PT-60 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 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 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 Settings / Control Panel from the Start menu, and then
double tap the “Timeout & Brightness” icon.
