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, and then tap the “Input Lock”
button. To return to On state, press the power button again.
