Use Threshold settings to configure and trigger warning messages for battery power, network signal strength, and free memory space of the mobile device. This helps the user to decide if a data transfer session can be safely completed.
To access Threshold settings
-
Tap the Menu button, and then tap Settings.
The Settings screen appears.
-
Tap Threshold.
The Threshold screen appears.
Configure Threshold settings as follows:
Battery Status
Battery status provides settings to configure and trigger warning messages for the battery level of the mobile device.
Check Battery Status
Check battery status checks on the battery power before initiating a data transfer session.
-
Tap to select Check Battery Status to enable battery status check.
-
Tap to clear selected Check Battery Status to disable battery status check.
This setting is turned off by default.
Warning Level
Battery warning level is the level of battery power in percentage below which a warning message appears when a data transfer session is initiated. It is up to the user to continue or abort the data transfer session. This setting is enabled only when the Check Battery Status is enabled.
Many factors influence the battery level in terms of power: battery condition, battery capacity, unit configuration, power-savings options enabled, and so on. Use experimentation and observation to determine the appropriate value for this setting.
The default value is 30, the range is between 20 and 80, and the warning level should be greater than the minimum level.
Minimum Level
Battery minimum level is the level of battery power in percentage at which a warning message appears and prevents data transfer when a data transfer session is initiated. This setting is enabled only when the Check Battery Status is enabled.
Many factors influence the battery level in terms of power: battery condition, battery capacity, unit configuration, power-savings options enabled, and so on. Use experimentation and observation to determine the appropriate value for this setting. However, the value should be set high enough to safely complete the longest data transfer session.
The default value is 20, and the range is between 10 and 70.
Network Status
Network status provides settings to configure and trigger warning messages for the network level of the mobile device.
Check Network Status
Check network status checks on the network signal strength before initiating a data transfer session.
-
Tap to select Check Network Status to enable network status check.
-
Tap to clear selected Check Network Status to disable network status check.
This setting is turned off by default.
Warning Level
Network warning level is the level of network signal strength in percentage below which a warning message appears when a data transfer session is initiated. It is up to the user to continue or abort the data transfer session. This setting is enabled only when the Check Network Status is enabled.
Many factors influence the network level in terms of signal strength: network condition, battery capacity, unit configuration, power-savings options enabled, and so on. Use experimentation and observation to determine the appropriate value for this setting.
The default value is 50, the range is between 20 and 80, and the warning level should be greater than the minimum level.
Minimum Level
Network minimum level is the level of network signal strength in percentage at which a warning message appears and prevents data transfer when a data transfer session is initiated. This setting is enabled only when the Check Network Status is enabled.
Many factors influence the network level in terms of signal strength: network condition, battery capacity, unit configuration, power-savings options enabled, and so on. Use experimentation and observation to determine the appropriate value for this setting. However, the value should be set high enough to safely complete the longest data transfer session.
The default value is 30, and the range is between 10 and 70.
Current Level
Current level is the current network signal strength in percentage. This value is only for reference to set values for the warning and minimum levels, and cannot be changed.
Memory Status
Memory status provides settings to configure and trigger warning messages for the memory level of the mobile device.
Check Memory Status
Check memory status checks on the total free memory before initiating a data transfer session.
-
Tap to select Check Memory Status to enable memory status check.
-
Tap to clear selected Check Memory Status to disable memory status check.
This setting is turned on by default.
Warning Level
Memory warning level is the level of total free memory in megabytes below which a warning message appears when a data transfer session is initiated. It is up to the user to continue or abort the data transfer session. This setting is enabled only when the Check Memory Status is enabled.
Many factors influence the memory level in terms of space available: apps running, memory capacity, unit configuration, memory-savings options enabled, and so on. Use experimentation and observation to determine the appropriate value for this setting.
The default value is 256, the range is between 200 and 1024, and the warning level should be greater than the minimum level.
Minimum Level
Memory minimum level is the level of total free memory in megabytes at which a warning message appears and prevents data transfer when a data transfer session is initiated. This setting is enabled only when the Check Memory Status is enabled.
Many factors influence the memory level in terms of space available: apps running, memory capacity, unit configuration, memory-savings options enabled, and so on. Use experimentation and observation to determine the appropriate value for this setting. However, the value should be set high enough to safely complete the longest data transfer session.
The default value is 100, and the range is between 100 and 1000.
Note: We recommend a minimum of 256 MB of difference between the warning and the minimum levels in case you change the default values.
