Chapter 3 - 11 Operating Information Stop Using Your Handheld Computer In order to conserve your device battery life, you may place your device into one of the several power states available, either temporarily or for an extended period of time. You can change the power state of your handheld computer anytime by pressing the power button to open up the Power Menu. The Power Menu provides three power states for you to choose from. Each state has a certain level of power consumption and supported functionalities. The states are discussed below. Input Lock In Input Lock state, the device LCD display is turned off, all tap inputs and button inputs (except the power button) are disabled. Applications that were launched prior to entering this state will continue to run; established wireless connectivity will be maintained (as long as the wireless signals are not lost). All unsaved application data prior to entering this state are maintained. By placing your handheld device into this less battery-power intensive state, you will be able to allow applications that require wireless connectivity to continue operating without interruption. As such, Lock state is an ideal state for your device when you want to conserve battery life without compromising your established wireless connectivity. Input Lock is the most power intensive of the three Off states. You can enter this state by pressing the power button once to call up the Power Menu, then tap the “Lock” icon. To return to On state, press the power button again. Chapter 3 - 12 Operating Information Suspend In Suspend state, the device LCD display is turned off, all tap inputs and button inputs (except the power button) are disabled. Applications that were launched prior to entering this state will be put on halt; established wireless connectivity will be lost. All unsaved application data prior to entering this state are maintained. By placing your handheld device into this state, you can conserve even more battery life than Lock state. However, this additional battery conservation means that you will not be able to maintain your device’s wireless connectivity, or keep applications running. All unsaved data prior to entering this state is maintained. Suspend is an ideal state for your device when you want to conserve more battery life, do not need to keep wireless connectivity on constantly, but want to keep your device ready to resume back to work on a moment’s notice. Suspend is the balance between power consumption and functionality of the three Off states. You can enter this state by pressing the power button once to call up the Power Menu, then tap the “Suspend” icon. To return to On state, press the power button again. Power Off In Power Off state, your handheld device is completely turned off. All applications are terminated, no wireless connectivity is established and all unsaved data are lost. Power Off is an ideal state for your handheld device when you do not need to operate your device for an extended period of time. Power Off is the most power conservative of the three Off states (no power drain except natural battery discharge). You can enter this state by pressing the power button once to call up the Power Menu, then tap the “Power Off” icon. Chapter 3 - 13 Operating Information Hard Reset In the event that your handheld computer hangs or stops responding, you can perform a Hard Reset by pressing and holding the power button for 8 seconds.
