205 Customizing the MC 218
Note! If you set Automatic switch off to No the MC 218 does not switch off
automatically. Do not select No if you use batteries – the batteries will run
down if you inadvertently leave your MC 218 turned on.
Please refer to the online help for detailed information on the different setting
options.
You can change the ‘wallpaper’ that appears on the Desktop screen. You can
use any picture that you draw or import into Sketch.
To create wallpaper:
1. Display the picture in Sketch. If you want to use part of a picture, select
the area.
2. On the File menu, select More Save as system wallpaper.
3. Type a name for the wallpaper file. Sketch keeps the files that contain
wallpaper separate from the original Sketch files so you can carry on using
your original picture without affecting the wallpaper.
To select wallpaper on the Desktop screen:
• On the Tools menu, select Preferences and select the name of the
wallpaper file that you want to display.
To delete a file containing wallpaper:
• Move to Sketch and select More Save as system wallpaper on the
File menu. Select the wallpaper that you want to remove. You cannot
delete the wallpaper selection included in the MC 218.
You can use the Record program to create alarm sounds.
To save a recording for use as an alarm sound:
• On the File menu, select Save as alarm sound and type a name for the
alarm sound. This creates another version of your sound as an alarm
you can use in the Time program, and leaves the original file open in
Record.
To delete a custom alarm sound:
• On the File menu, select Delete alarm sound, and select the alarm to
delete from the list. You cannot delete or modify the built-in MC 218
alarm sounds.
