This section provides a set of utilities that can be used to configure some aspects of the PortaPack and are described below. Settings are saved in persistent memory.

||||
## Audio

This setting allows adjustment of the Tone Key (CTCSS) mixer setting when transmitting as a percent of the audio level.

## Date/Time
|

Set the date and time which will appear on the home screen (if enabled), in log entries, and file time stamps. A coin cell is required to keep the time updated when the PortaPack is off. If the coin cell battery is dead/missing but there is an SD card, the date will be advanced by 1 day every time the Portapack is rebooted, so that log entries/files will be in chronologically ascending order.

If Daylight Savings Time (DST) is enabled, the time is advanced by one hour during the indicated date range specified as the Nth Day-of-Week in Nth Month (note that the time displayed on this screen is assumed to already be corrected for DST so the time entered should be the same as appears on other clocks). To learn the Daylight Savings Time date range for your area, see [Wikipedia Daylight Savings Time By Country](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_by_country). The precise _hour_ of the time change is as shown on the screen and is not configurable.

## App Settings
|
||||
Settings for each app are saved in corresponding .ini files in the /SETTINGS folder to maintain persistence, if a formatted SD card is installed. An updated .ini file is saved whenever the app is closed. To reset an app to default settings, the corresponding .ini file may be safely deleted and a new file will be created automatically when the app is subsequently executed. Alternatively, individual lines in the file may be deleted to reset only a subset of application settings. For debug purposes, note that some additional configuration settings may be found in the .ini file that are not configurable in the app itself.

|
||||
|
||||
Note: In firmware versions prior to 1.8.0, apps use the .ini settings file ONLY if the following configuration settings are enabled (in 1.8.0+ this is the default behavior and the Settings->AppSettings screen will not appear in firmware versions 1.8.0 to 1.9.1):
|
||||
* Load app settings
|
||||
* Save app settings
|
||||
|
||||
In firmware version 1.9.2 and later, there is a new App Settings application that simplifies access to the .ini files in the SETTINGS folder.

## blacklist
|
||||
To disable specific apps completely, a text file named "blacklist" can be created manually in the SETTINGS folder using the Notepad application. Unwanted applications should be listed in this file using their case-sensitive application name (text that appears under the app's screen icon), and they will be disabled (hidden) effective on the next boot. List one application per line. (Requires 1.8.0+ firmware and an SD card)

## Config Mode
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases a PortaPack may start up intermittently in Config Menu mode, such as when the power button is pressed twice rapidly, or if a little electrical noise occurs when a USB cable is attached. If this occurs frequently (dark screen and blinking LEDs), the Config Menu code can be disabled using the Settings -> Config Mode app (which sets a flag in persistent memory to disable Config Menu activation).

## P.Memory Mgmt
|

Set persistent memory options.
|

|
||||
|
||||
Set persistent memory from/to sd card options. It's particularly useful to keep different default settings than those configured by the firmware if there is no/dead coin battery. Information messages will be displayed at each widget trigger. If loading at startup is failing, it will not show any message, the boot may continue like nothing happened. Widgets:
|
||||
* use sdcard for pmem: if checked the firmware will try to load last saved settings at startup. The checkbox is configuring a flag file under SETTINGS for it to work without coin battery. Each time you correctly exit an app using the back button, it's persistent settings, if any, are saved to the sdcard.
|
||||
There are 256 bytes of persistent memory where settings are saved when there is a working coin battery. Note that a dead/missing coin battery will not prevent startup or display any messages, but settings will be lost after a power cycle. To prevent this, settings may be stored in a file on the SD card versus in the persistent memory, if enabled.

||||
Widgets:
|
||||
* use sdcard for pmem: if checked the firmware will try to load last saved settings at startup. The checkbox is configuring a flag file under SETTINGS for it to work without coin battery.

A value between [-4,+4] MHz of correction is accepted, else it's truncated due to the variable used in persistent memory.

## Brightness

So don’t expect image quality but it indeed saves some eyesight in night. Brightness may also be adjusted by clicking the brightness icon on the status bar. Since it's changing the colors, a screen-shot taken with a dimmed screen will be dimmed in the screen-shot as well.
