Set the Pearl device screen timeout

Initially, the Pearl device screen is always on for easy monitoring. However, you can set the screen to shut off after a given amount of time. To re-enable the screen after it times out and shuts off:

  • Tap anywhere on the screen for Pearl-2 or Pearl Mini.
    • If the start screen is not set to locked mode and a screen timeout occurs, tapping the touch screen returns you to the last screen you were on before the timeout occurred.
    • If you set a 4-digit PIN when the start screen is in locked mode, a lock appears in the top right of the start screen after a timeout. You must enter the PIN to unlock the start screen for access to the touch screen.

Set the screen timeout using the Admin panel

  1. Log in to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
  2. From the Configuration menu, select Touch Screen (Front Screen for Pearl Nano). The Touch screen/Front screen configuration page opens.
  3. Enter the number of seconds before the screen automatically shuts off in the Timeout field. A value of 0 keeps the screen on at all times when the system is on.
  4. Click Apply.
