So if I understand this,
- Turning on the “Sleep” function means that you want the Clip to shut off after a certain interval, as if you were going to sleep and wanted the unit to turn off after you fell asleep, and
- When “Sleep” is “on”, then autopower sets the interval after which the unit shuts off.
This implies then, that
When “Sleep” is set to “off”, then Autopower does nothing regardless of setting.
- The manual ought to SAY something like that, but since it doesn’t, does that accord with everyone’s experience?
(I had another make of MP3 player that would, if not playing anything, power itself off after (it said) ten minutes. Turned out it was 3 minutes, not ten, which I couldn’t live with, but never mind.)
- Does the Clip power itself down if not playing anything, after X minutes?
- What’s the difference between “not playing anything, backlight off” and “powered down”. Is there a difference at all?
- Can the power-down interval that isn’t “sleep” be controlled in some way?
