| \subsection{Battery} |
| Options relating to the \opt{archos}{batteries}\nopt{archos}{battery}% |
| in the \dap. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [Battery Capacity: ]This setting can be used to tell Rockbox what |
| capacity (in mAh) of battery is being used inside it. The default is |
| \opt{player,recorder}{1500mAh}% |
| \opt{recorderv2fm}{2200mAh}% |
| \opt{ondiosp,ondiofm}{1000mAh}% |
| \opt{h1xx,h300}{1300mAh}% |
| \opt{ipodmini}{400mAh (1G) or 630mAh (2G)}% |
| \opt{ipodcolor}{700mAh}% |
| \opt{ipodnano,ipodvideo,ipod4g,ipod3g}{\fixme{unknown}}% |
| \opt{x5}{950mAh}% |
| , which is the capacity value for the standard batteries shipped with the |
| \dap. Rockbox uses this value to estimate remaining battery life for the |
| statusbar and WPS. Changing this setting has no effect what-so-ever on |
| actual battery life. This setting only affects the accuracy of the |
| battery life estimation as shown on screen. |
| |
| \opt{ipod}{This value is fairly meaningless in the \playerman{} family at |
| present, and work is on-going into finding a better way to determine |
| battery life.} |
| |
| \opt{ondiosp,ondiofm}{ |
| \item [Battery Type: ]This setting tells Rockbox which type of battery |
| that is currently used in the \dap{}. Select \setting{Alkaline} or |
| \setting{NiMH} with \ButtonUp/\ButtonDown. |
| } |
| \end{description} |

| \nopt{ondiosp,ondiofm}{ |
| \subsection{Disk} |
| Options relating to the hard disk. |
| |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [Disk Spindown: ]Rockbox has a timer that makes it spin down the |
| hard disk after it is idle for a certain amount of time. This setting |
| controls the amount of time between the last user activity and the time |
| that the disk spins down. This idle time is only affected by user |
| activity, like navigating through the \setting{File Browser}. When the |
| hard disk spins up to fill the audio buffer, it automatically spins down |
| afterwards. |
| |
| \opt{SWCODEC}{ |
| \item [Directory Cache: ]Rockbox has the ability to cache the contents of |
| your drive in RAM. The \setting{Directory Cache} takes a small amount of |
| memory away from Rockbox that would otherwise be used to buffer music, |
| but it speeds up navigation in the \setting{File Browser} by eliminating |
| the slight pause between the time a navigation button is pressed and the |
| time Rockbox responds. Turning this setting \setting{On} activates the |
| directory cache, and turning it \setting{Off} deactivates the directory |
| cache. |
| \note{The first time you set the directory cache to \setting{On}, |
| Rockbox will request a reboot of the \dap{} and upon restarting take a few |
| minutes to scan the drive. Thereafter, the directory cache will work in the |
| background.} |

| \subsection{Time and Date} |
| Time related menu options. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [Set Time/Date: ]Set current time and date. |
| \item [Time Format: ] Choose 12 or 24 Hour clock. |
| \end{description} |
| } |
| |
| \subsection{Idle Poweroff} |
| Rockbox can be configured to turn off power after the unit has been idle for a |
| defined number of minutes. The \dap{} is idle when playback is stopped or |
| paused. It is not idle while the USB or charger is connected, or while |
| recording. Settings are either \setting{Off} or \setting{1} to \setting{10} |
| minutes in 1 minute steps. Then \setting{15,30,45} and \setting{60} minutes are |
| available. |
| \subsection{Sleep Timer} |
| This option lets you power off your \dap{} after playing for a given time. Can |
| be set from \setting{Off} to 5 hours in 5 minute steps. |
| \opt{recorderv2fm}{This setting is reset on boot. Using this option |
| disables the \setting{Wake up alarm} (see below). |
| \subsection{Wake Up alarm} |
| This option turns the \dap{} off and then starts it up again at the |
| specified time. This is most useful when combined with the \setting{Resume} |
| setting in the \setting{Playback Options} menu is set to \setting{Yes}, so |
| that the \dap{} wakes up and immediately starts playing music. Use |
| \ButtonLeft{} and \ButtonRight{} to adjust the minutes setting, \ButtonUp{} |
| and \ButtonDown{} to adjust the HOURS. |
| \ButtonPlay{} confirms the alarm and shuts your \dap{} down, and \ButtonOff |
| cancels setting an alarm. If the \dap{} is turned on again before the alarm |
| occurs, the alarm will be cancelled. Using this option disables the |
| \setting{Sleep Timer}(see above). |
| } |
| |
| \subsection{Limits} |
| This sub menu relates to limits in the Rockbox operating system. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [Max files in dir browser: ]This setting controls the limit on |
| the number of files that you can put in any particular directory in the |
| \setting{File Browser}. You can configure the size to be between 50 and |
| 10,000 files in steps of 50. The default is 400. Higher values will shorten |
| the music buffer, so you should increase this setting \emph{only} if you have |
| directories with a large number of files. |
| |
| \item [Max playlist size: ]This setting controls the maximum size of |
| a playlist. The playlist size can be between 1,000 and 20,000 files, |
| in steps of 1,000 (default is 10,000). Higher values will shorten the |
| music buffer, so you should increase this setting \emph{only} if you |
| have very large playlists. |
| \end{description} |
| |
| \opt{player,recorder,recorderv2fm}{ |
| \subsection{Car Adapter Mode} |
| This option turns \setting{On} and \setting{Off} the car ignition |
| auto stop function. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [Car Adapter Mode: ]When using the \dap{} in a car, |
| \setting{Car Adapter Mode} automatically stops playback on the \dap{} when |
| power (i.e. from cigarette lighter power adapter) to the external DC in jack |
| is turned off. If the \setting{Car Adapter Mode} is set to \setting{On}, |
| Rockbox will pause playback when the external power off condition is |
| detected. Rockbox will then shutdown the \dap{} after the length of time set |
| in the \setting{Idle Poweroff} setting (see above). |
| If power to the DC in jack is turned back on before the \emph{Idle Poweroff} |
| function has shut the \dap{} off, playback will be resumed 5 seconds after |
| the power is applied. This delay is to allow for the time while the car |
| engine is being started. |
| \end{description} |
| |
| Once the \dap{} is shut off either manually, or automatically with the |
| \setting{Idle Poweroff} function, it must be powered up manually to resume |
| playback. |

| \opt{player}{ |
| \subsection{Line In} This option activates the line in port on \dap, which is |
| off by default. This is useful for such applications as: |
| \begin{itemize} |
| \item Game boy $\rightarrow$ \dap $\rightarrow$ human |
| \item laptop $\rightarrow$ \dap $\rightarrow$ human |
| \item LAN party computer $\rightarrow$ \dap $\rightarrow$ human |
