Arc KOBO Arc home icon - sleep time

digital dennis · 08-26-2013, 04:48 AM

Hi Everyone,

I have had my Arc for about 3 months. Generally it provides an excellent way to show/share images with friends.
I would like to change the screen sleep time which at present occurs very quickly.
I read that you double tap the home icon, middle bottom of screen however this has no effect.
Certainly it works when tapping to move

to previous app.
I realise double tapping should produce dropdown on top of screen to allow changes etc.
Any thoughts please?
regards
Digital Dennis

Pull down the top shade, open the settings (the right-most icon on the shade), then Device Section -> Display -> Sleep. Can be changed to 15 seconds or 30 seconds, or 1, 2, 5, 10 or 30 minutes.
