How do you know the unit is off vs sleep mode? I’m always having to charge this when I go to use it after a week or so. Seems like a firmware upgrade to auto off after several hours w/o use would make sense?
Hi John, the device powers off without use after 6 hours now and after 2 hours with an upcoming firmware upgrade. If you move the tape and the screen does not turn back on, the device is off vs in slep mode
Hi Derrick,
I'm trying to turn off the T1 by holding the power button for more than 3 seconds.
Doing so, the OLED display turns off but the E-Paper display still stands on. Is it normal? If not, how to proceed to turn both displays off?
Thanks for further information.
T1 firmware version : Release 0.5.13 (latest available via the Rock App)
Rock App version : 1.1.44
Hi Régis, that is normal as the epaper screen doesnt need power to stay on (one of its unique features) so this behavior is normal!
Hi Derrick,
Thanks for your answer.
In fact, I was wondering so because of this in the dedicated support section : Sleep Mode (ScreenS off, Battery Installed).
Maybe a more explicit information should be corrected.
Best regards
