Other Switches and Controls
Main Power Off
iSCAN is equipped with a Main Power Off switch which is located on the left hand side of
iSCAN, underneath a protective cover. The Main Power Off switch is used to prepare
iSCAN for firmware upgrades, and can be used if desired to prevent battery drain when
iSCAN is not used for long periods of time.
Like many modern portable electronic devices, the iSCAN exhibits a very low level battery
drain when powered off. The Main Power Off switch isolates the batteries from iSCAN
completely, which will prevent this low level battery drain. It is not necessary or
recommended to use the Main Power Off switch on a routine basis. Most batteries will
self-discharge long before they are affected by the battery drain that iSCAN exhibits while
powered off.
Always use the front panel POWER key to turn iSCAN off. Using the main power switch to
turn iSCAN off or removing the batteries without first turning iSCAN off via the POWER key
may result in lost data or corrupted memory on the SD Card.
WARNING: The Main Power Off switch will not protect your iSCAN from damage that may
occur due to battery leakage when iSCAN is stored for long periods of time. Always remove
the batteries from iSCAN when placing it into long-term storage.
Battery Type Selection
iSCAN is equipped with a Battery Type Selection switch which is located inside of the
