User's Manual

Nordic ID PL3000 user manual, v. 2.6, October 2006 56

6.5.5 Date and Time

The date and time settings are quite straightforward to conﬁ gure. If you intend to use Simple Network Time

Protocol (SNTP) you must set the time zone for the device. Otherwise the timeoffset that is received from

the SNTP server will be wrong, resulting in an incorrect time.

6.5.6 Dialing

The dialling properties dialogue allows you to conﬁ gure country and area code dial string settings. These

settings are used by modem PCMCIA cards, if no modem is available these settings have no effect. If you

are using an Option Globetrotter GPRS or Combo card supplied by Nordic ID, you should not need to

change any settings in this dialogue as the factory default settings are correct for those cards.

6.5.7 Display

The display settings dialogue allows you to set the background image of the desktop, change the appearance

of the operating system and set the backlight power saving timers. The background image can be changed

to any BMP-type image ﬁ le resident in the PL3000 ﬁ le system. For best performance, the image should

have a resolution of 320x240 pixels, and a bit depth of 4 or 8 (16 or 256 colours). The backlight timer is also

conﬁ gurable in the power conﬁ guration dialogue, along with more power settings.
