just recieved genie box! a few q's - GSM-Forum

hi, ive just received genie box this morning and im new to using it. Ive put it on charge as the battery seems almost flat. i just wanted to know if the box has a power button or how to start it from standby? as while its on charge when i press a button the lcd wont light up.

also i unlocked a phone and wanted to exit the menu, when i go to quit and press right direction key it wont exit the screen, is this supposed to happen?

any help for a newbie would be great

hi ive checked the link, thanks for the info

im charging genie thru mains and it keeps turning off after about 5 seconds, i understand the lcd should still remain on when its plugged into mains?
has anyone else had this problem? also how long should i leave it on charge for?

thanks

hi, it just starts on the main menu, but nothing happens if you press the jog dial. you have to unplug and replug the mains to get it to restart. holding down 1 doesnt always switch lcd on. might there be a fault with the plug?

thanks

Hi,

LCD backlight goes off to improve the life span of the backlight lamp. There is a way to
disable this for running applications and scripts. From the Settings menu -> Lcd Backlight.

But when in Main Menu, regardless of the power source you select, it will still goes off after
some time.
