What Power Saving Mode does
When Power Saving Mode is on, the iPad dims the screen brightness after a few minutes of nobody being there. As soon as a visitor walks up, the screen instantly brightens back to normal.
This:
Saves a little battery (only matters if your iPad isn't plugged in 24/7)
Protects the screen from burn-in over months of always-on use
Looks more elegant than a totally black sleeping screen — visitors can still see "the kiosk is there," it's just resting
Power Saving is OFF by default
We don't turn it on automatically because some schools want their kiosk fully bright all the time. You opt in.
How to turn it on
From Conii, tap Settings at the bottom
Enter passcode Adm123
Scroll to the Power Saving section
Toggle Dim screen when idle ON
Set the Idle timeout — how many minutes of no faces and no taps before the screen dims (default is 5 minutes)
Tap Done
That's it. The screen will now dim 5 minutes after the last visitor.
How to wake the screen
Power Saving Mode is super responsive:
A face in front of the camera wakes the screen instantly
Tapping anywhere wakes the screen instantly
There's no "sleeping" delay. As soon as a visitor walks up, the screen is bright and ready.
How dim is dim?
The screen drops to 10% brightness when idle. That's dim enough to look like the kiosk is "resting" but bright enough that the agent eyes are still faintly visible — visitors aren't startled by a black screen.
Will it overheat?
No. The iPad doesn't run hot in Power Saving Mode — actually, the opposite. With the screen dimmed, the iPad runs cooler than full brightness. We've tested this on wall-mounted iPads running 24/7 for weeks at a time. Safe for permanent installation.
