8.7  The sleep mode

As you already know, your tolino loves to go to sleep. When it is not used for a while, 
it automatically goes into sleep mode. By default, this happens after five minutes. You 
can, however, change this time period although the waiting period cannot be shorter 
than five minutes.

1. 

Open the 

Settings

 from the menu and tap on 

Advanced settings

2. 

Tap the arrow on the button where it reads 

After 5 minutes

3. 

In the 

Sleep mode

 window, select the required option by tapping on it and con-

firm your selection by tapping 

Apply

.

8.8  Saving energy

Because your tolino consumes very little energy, you rarely need to recharge it. But if 
you wish, you can additionally ensure that it consumes particularly little energy. 

And if you observe the following tips, the battery will last much longer than usual:
