On/Off Switch
The power (on/off) switch is a push button located at the base of the keypad.
When the system is turned off, the current contents of RAM are lost. Save any needed data and
exit in an orderly fashion from any running programs before turning the system off.
Figure 2-2 Location of the Power (PWR) Button
The Power button is used to turn the MX1 on and off and place it into the Suspend state. The
button will beep when pressed and beep again every second while it is held down.
How To
• Turn the MX1 off
Hold the Power key down for 4 beeps (signifies 3 or more
seconds) then release.
• Turn the MX1 on
Hold the Power key down until the display turns on.
• Force the Suspend state
Tap the Power key (1 beep). The Suspend state is useful for
breaks or when swapping batteries as the unit does not need to
be turned off prior to replacing the Main Battery.
• Wake from Suspend
Wake the MX1 from Suspend by tapping the Power button.
• Force a Power Off
If the MX1 will not turn off – force a Power Off by holding the
Power key down for 15 seconds and the MX1 will power off.
Locate and correct the problem before powering the MX1 back
on – e.g. IRQ conflict, very low battery power, radio conflict,
unexpected software application result, etc.
Note: The ability of the Power Key to turn off or suspend the MX1 is configurable in the BIOS
Setup.
Critical Suspend Mode and the Off
Timer
The MX1 is automatically turned Off when the Off Timer expires. The Off Timer runs when the
MX1 is in Critical Suspend mode. The MX1 automatically goes into Critical Suspend mode when
the main battery is dead or removed. The Off Timer default is 5 minutes. The value can be
adjusted using the BIOS Setup.
