Abstract
A user interface for an electronic device allows a user to make device settings persist after the device is turned off and then on again, or through other changes in operating mode. The user interface selection for making a setting persistent is presented to the user at the same time as the selection for the setting itself. The user interface may optionally be implemented using a control that enables horizontal and vertical scrolling, such as a four-way rocker switch or its equivalent.
