Change Timeouts
You can update the period of time the phone is idle before the screen turns off. You can specify different
timeouts for office hours (Office Hours Idle Timeout) and non-office hours (Off Hours Idle Timeout). By
default, the Office Hours Idle Timeout is much longer than the Off Hours Idle Timeout.
You can also specify a separate timeout period that applies after you press a key or select the screen.
This is called the User Input Idle Timeout. You can choose to set a higher User Input Idle Timeout than
the Office Hours and Off Hours Idle Timeouts so that when you’re actively using the phone, power-saving
mode doesn’t initiate as often.
User Tip: Determining which idle timeout applies
If you press a key or tap the screen, the idle timeout period that applies (User Input Idle Timeout or
Office Hours/Off Hours Idle Timeout) is the timeout with the highest value.
To change timeouts:
1 Select Settings > Basic > Power Saving > Timeouts.
On VVX 1500 phones, select Menu > Settings > Basic > Power Saving > Timeouts.
2 Select Office Hours Idle Timeout, and enter the number of minutes the phone should wait, during
office hours, before starting power-saving mode. Enter a number between 1 minute and 600
minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
3 Select Off Hours Idle Timeout, and enter the number of minutes the phone should wait, during off-
hours, before starting power-saving mode. Enter a number between 1 minute and 10 minutes. The
default is 1 minute.
4 Select User Input Idle Timeout, and enter the number of minutes the phone should wait after a key
press or screen select before starting power-saving mode. Enter a number between 1 minute and
10 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
