Pocket Mode

Overview​

Pocket Mode is a smart feature that automatically manages the device display based on how the device is used. When the device is placed in a pocket or a bag, the display turns off instantly — preventing accidental touches and eliminating unnecessary screen activity. As soon as the device is removed, the display wakes up automatically and is ready for immediate use. This ensures that the device remains available and responsive when needed, while avoiding wasted power and unnecessary wear caused by keeping the display on during periods of non-use. For workers in fast-paced environments, this translates to smoother workflows, fewer interruptions, and longer device availability across an entire shift.

Key benefits of Pocket Mode​

  • Prevents accidental screen interactions while the device is stored.
  • Avoids unnecessary battery drain from unintentional display usage.
  • Reduces the need to manually lock and unlock the device.
  • Ensures the display is ready to use as soon as the device is removed from the pocket.
  • Extends overall device uptime, supporting longer and more efficient work sessions.
