5.5.4.2 Power Saving Suspend
•In the Power Properties dialog box, open the Suspend tab.
Power Source
This dialog box allows you to specify the suspend time for either AC Power or
Battery Power.
Suspend Timeout
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 min-
utes. To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the
duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display
Backlight” on page 85).
When the WORKABOUT PRO is idle—not receiving any user input (a key touch, a
scan, and so on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an
application, and so on)—the hand-held uses the value assigned in the Suspend
Timeout field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit
enters suspend state. In suspend state, the WORKABOUT PRO CPU enters a sleep
state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved.
Pressing [ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. When the WORKABOUT
PRO is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If
the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.
