The Device screen allows you to configure.

Device: mobileCLOCK will display the type of device that was detected. For some
devices this will look like a 4-character code like 'ecty'.
Time: Displays, and allows you to adjust, the current device time.
Screen mode: You can change these settings to affect the screen color depth
so as to
improve the appearance and readability of the on-screen elements.
This is usually mostly beneficial on older, gray scale devices, but experimentation
with your device will allow you to determine which setting is most pleasing to you.
Popup depth: If you set this to 'Max' then, upon an Alarm or Timer event,
mobileCLOCK will switch the screen mode to the best possible resolution and color depth.
Usually this works fine, but some devices can experience instability when the screen mode
is switched at that time. If you find that your device has problems you should set this
to 'Default'.
Fast wakeup: This option is available only OS5 devices, and on all
other devices this setting will be hidden, and set to the default. On some devices, it seems that
some device configurations do not work well with the default setting, so it is recommended
that, if your device does not seem to wake up properly when an alarm happens, or if
pending messages (SMS, for instance) seem to block an alarm from happening, then try changing
this setting between On and Off.
PocketTunes stop: If you are using PocketTunes for your event sounds, and you find
that the PT sound is not stopping properly when you cancel or snooze an alarm, then you
should turn this option on to force PT to stop at that time. This will also stop any PT playback
that was previously happening, so you may not want to turn this on unless necessary.
Popup clock: You may assign a button that allows you to popup the time on top of
any current application. The popup will show the current time, timezone info, and the "next-event"
info. The popup will persist for as long as you hold that button, up to a maximum of 10 seconds.
When the popup disappears you may continue working in the current application. You have to
hold the button for more than 1/2 second for the popup to start. If you
hold for less than that initial time, the default behaviour for that button will happen. Pleaase
remember that other applications might also be checking for a hold of that button (for instance, if you
are trying to assign the "Power" button on a Treo650, or the "Voice" button on a Tungsten).
In this type of situation you might experience an incompatibility. Many buttons are listed which
can be assigned to popup duty, but not all of the listed buttons
are avaliable on all devices, and not all of the buttons will work correctly on all devices, depending
on the specific setup of each device. For the above reasons, it is best to experiment to see
which button works best in your case. Note that the popup will happen on both active and sleeping
devices, but that on sleeping devices many of the button assignments will not work because of system
limitations. The 4 main application buttons (directly underneath the screen, near the 5-way
navigator control) will work in virtually all cases. On a sleeping device you can
simply "tap" the button to start a 2 second popup.
Test buttons: This will display a screen with a variety of test buttons. These buttons
will be used to troubleshoot operation problems on specific devices. Many of the buttons will have no
effect on most devices, but some may cause unwanted results, if used on the incorrect device. It's best
to leave these alone unless directed by the author.
Reset: This will prompt a soft-reset of the device. This is just for convenience, where it
is sometimes a hassle to use the reset hole at the back of the device.
