Garmin 3200 Operating Guide

Setting the Auto-Off Delay Time

You can set when your handheld automatically shuts off.  Using the auto shutoff interval, your handheld automatically turns off 

the power and backlight after a period of inactivity, to conserve battery power.  If you find that your handheld shuts itself off before 
you finish reviewing the information on the screen, you can increase the automatic shutoff setting.

1.  Tap the Applications Launcher (Home) icon; then tap the Prefs icon.  
2.  In the pick list in the upper right corner, tap General.
3.  In the General Preferences screen, change the auto-shutoff time by tapping the Auto-off After pick list.  Tap an 

option—30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.

Setting Your Handheld to Stay On While in the Cradle

In order to save battery power, your handheld will shut off after the time interval that is set in your General Preferences.  For 

devices with rechargeable batteries, battery power is not a issue when your device is in the cradle.  So you may choose to have the 
screen remain visible.

1.  Tap the Applications Launcher (Home) icon; then tap the Prefs icon.  
2.  In the pick list in the upper right corner, tap General.
3.  Tap the Stay on in Cradle check box to allow your handheld to stay on while in the cradle.  Unchecking the box 

causes your handheld to shut off after the auto shutoff time interval that is set in your General Preferences.
