TIP
To quickly change an option without having to go through the two trackwheel clicks required to open a menu and select Change Option , highlight the option and press the Alt key to view a list of choices. Then scroll to the desired choice and click the trackwheel to select it. An even faster shortcut involves cycling to the next available choice by pressing the Space key; pressing Shift + Space cycles to the previous choice. You can also jump immediately to a choice by typing the first character in the choice's name .

TIP
You should set the auto on time for your device so that it comes on a few minutes before you plan on using it each day. This gives it time to retrieve your email messages so they will be ready and waiting for you when you begin using the device. Generally speaking, I like to set the auto on time for about 15 minutes prior to when I start using the device each day.
Scroll to highlight the
AM/PM portion of the time in the
Time field and click the trackwheel; then click
Change Option in the menu that appears. Scroll to select either
AM or
PM and click.
Repeat this procedure to change the time for the
Turn Off At field. Your device is now set so that every weekday it automatically turns on at the
Turn On At time and then turns off at the
Turn Off At time.
