16 P-TS7 Handheld Touchscreen and Wireless Accessories User Manual
Screen
The Screen tab provides user settings for the Handheld Touchscreen including:
• Backlight Level: a level bar is provided to set the relative brightness of the touchscreen backlight.
By default, the level is set to full.
• Backlight Timeout: sets the length of inactivity time before the backlight fades to its backlight
timeout level. This is separate from any configuration related Inactivity Timeout settings.
• Backlight Timeout Level: the intensity level the backlight will fade to when its “Backlight
Timeout” has been reached. This level can be set to either “Off” or “Dim”.
• Light Sensor: allows the touchscreen to determine an appropriate Backlight Level based on
ambient light in the space. The internal light sensor measures the ambient light and adjusts the
backlight proportionally based on the established backlight level settings. By default, the light
sensor is “Off”.
• Inactivity Battery Saver: allows the touchscreen save battery power by going into Standby mode
after a specified period of inactivity. Options include Never, 30 mins, 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours. The
default setting is 2 hours.
• Local Storage: displays the internal memory in use and in relation to the capacity in the device.
Calibrate Touchscreen
The Screen tab provides a [Calibrate Touchscreen] button that when pressed, launches the calibration
display. This display is provided as a tool for recalibrating the touch behaviors on the touchscreen.
Calibration may be required if presses on the touchscreen are recognized in an area other than where
the screen was pressed.
Note:
When the Light Sensor is “On”, the backlight level sets the maximum level of
brightness.
