IMPORTANT NOTES!
Power Management
Since the MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 are battery-powered handheld devices, power management is a
necessary concern. Under continuous use, the charge on the integral Lithium Polymer battery can last for
as long as six hours. However, to maximize usability and minimize the chances of the device becoming
completely discharged at a critical moment, the device should be kept in its charging cradle or wall
station when not in use.
Each device operates on two distinct power modes:
Awake - This is the normal power mode of the panel during operation. In this mode, all necessary
modules are powered up and their respective clocks are being driven appropriately. The device
remains online with the Netlinx Master and continues to appear in the online tree of Netlinx Studio.
Sleep - This mode of operation can be selected through the Setup Pages and only controls the
backlight. In this case, the unit remains on all the time, and only the backlight will be turned off
after the user-selectable time of inactivity has elapsed. The device remains online with the Netlinx
Master and continues to be shown in the online tree of Netlinx Studio. The unit shall transfer to the
Awake mode after it detects a touch on the touchscreen or navigation wheel. This mode uses 80
percent of the power required for the Awake mode.
Stand By - In this mode, the device is completely shut down, with only wakeup systems powered to
detect incoming commands or touch panel contact.
Shutdown - The system enters this mode after a user selectable amount of inactivity time has
elapsed or if the battery level falls below10 percent of its full charge. This is the absolute lowest
mode of operation, during which power to all peripherals and components is turned off. It is not
online with the NetLinx Master and will not appear in NetLinx Studio. The system remains in this
mode until it is rebooted. In the latter case, the panel has to be placed in a Table Charging Station in
order for it to be operational.
Proper Battery Maintenance
To insure maximum performance and reliability of your AMX Wireless Touch Panel, please insure that a
full charge is performed every 3 months if not used regularly. If a battery is left uncharged beyond this
time frame, it may result in premature battery lifespan degradation and will require replacement.
Lithium-Polymer battery technology degrades in capacity over time, unless the
battery is periodically charged and discharged. AMX recommends installing all
Lithium-Polymer batteries in functional AMX products within 6 months of receipt.
Please dispose of all used batteries in a proper fashion as required by municipal or
federal regulations.
Prior to battery removal, run the device until the battery is completely discharged.
