# Configure and Use the Sleep Timer on Time Clocks

The Time Clock supports a Sleep Timer feature, which ensures energy efficiency by dimming the screen when the device is not in use. This article outlines the Sleep Timer functionality, configuration, and requirements.

### Sleep Timer Functionality

**Note:** These instructions do not apply to the **Xenio M2000** or **Xenio P3000**. To set the sleep timer on these devices, see [Set the Sleep Timer on the Xenio M2000 and Xenio P3000](https://help.workeasysoftware.com/docs/sleep-timer-setup-for-xenio-m2000).

1. Once the Sleep Timer duration is reached, the screen will dim to the lowest possible setting to conserve energy.
2. The Time Clock will wake up when:
  - The LCD is touched.
  - A card is presented.
  - The biometric sensor is touched.
  - A face is presented (F1000 devices only).

### Configuration for Xenio Devices (2.0 Platform)

#### Adding the Sleep Timer Option

**Location in Settings:**

1. Go to **Global Settings > Devices > Time Clock Settings**.
2. Select **Create Rule** and define your audience (**Everyone**, **Specific group**, or **Specific time clock**).
3. Expand the **Display** section and select **Sleep Timer**. Available Values:

- 
  - **Off**
  - **5 minutes**
  - **15 minutes**
  - **30 minutes**
  - **1 hour**

**Default Value:** The default setting for **Sleep Timer** is **1 hour**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-RGAIRSQ4.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T14%3A10%3A47Z&se=2026-11-01T15%3A10%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=hqMtc8kEyZPwJPzYQLcTfPaKrGFtxOz87Z14GpnDZmI%3D)

### Requirements for Sleep Timer Functionality

- Devices must be updated to the latest firmware version.
- Devices running older firmware versions will **not** support the Sleep Timer feature. Ensure all devices are up-to-date before configuring Sleep Timer settings.

**Troubleshooting**

- **Sleep Mode Not Working:**
  1. Confirm that the device firmware is updated.
  2. Recheck the Sleep Timer settings in the **Display** section.
- **Device Does Not Wake Up:**
  1. Verify that the wake-up triggers (LCD, card, biometric sensor, or face) are functional.
  2. For F1000 devices, ensure face recognition is correctly configured.
