15.5 Power Settings

These settings will help you to save battery power thus allowing a

longer battery autonomy.

You can set the Gmini

™

402 to conserve

power for both modes of operation

(when it is powered from the battery, or

when it is connected to the AC charger/

adapter (DC-Power operation).

Parameter Description

Power Off 1-9 minutes (and Never for DC operation). The number

of minutes of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the

Gmini

™

402 shuts off. During the playback of MP3 and AVI

ﬁ les, this setting takes effect only after the ﬁ les are ﬁ nished

playing.

Backlight Off 10-90 seconds, Never. The time of user inactivity (no

buttons pressed) before the Gmini

™

402 turns off the screen

to conserve power. During playback of slideshows and AVI

ﬁ les, this setting only takes effect once it is ﬁ nished playing.

Hard disk 10-90 seconds. The number of seconds from the time of

the last ﬁ le access before the Gmini

™

402 tells the internal

hard disk to stop spinning. The longer this time is set, the

more often the hard disk is turning and the quicker the

response time when accessing ﬁ les. However, as it is set

longer, it will quickly consume your battery. The default value

is 60s. Caution: This setting should only be changed by

experienced users.

A typical use of these settings is to set the power off, screen off, and hard

disk to low values when used in battery mode. When the power adapter

is plugged in, you do not need to conserve energy and thus keeping

the Power on and the Backlight on makes using the Gmini

™

402 more

agreeable. Increasing the hard disk value beyond the default may actually

discharge the battery even when the Charger/adapter is plugged in. Note

also that your unit will run hotter when the backlight and hard disk are on

for long periods of time.

15.6 System Settings

The System settings allow

you control over the low level

parameters of the Gmini

™

402.

Parameter Description

Show all

ﬁ les

Off (default), On. If set to Off, the Jukebox will only display the ﬁ le

names of ﬁ le types, with their corresponding icons, that it knows how

to play. If set to On, the Jukebox will display the names of ALL the

ﬁ les on the hard disk (using a ? icon for unknown types), even if they

cannot be viewed or played, such as .tiff or .pdf for example. Setting

it to ON will allow the Jukebox to transfer all the ﬁ les from a connected

Mass Storage Class (MSC) Device such as certain digital cameras

regardless of ﬁ le type. If set to OFF, it will only display ﬁ le types that

the Gmini

™

402 is capable of playing.
