Basic Operation and Navigation Turning On/Off, Sleep Mode and Emergency Shutdown
3.1.3 Sleep Mode
The Windows operating system uses Sleep Mode to conserve power by stopping all processes
and turning off the display screen, while keeping the diagnostic tool on and your open applications
active. When you are ready to resume work, the diagnostic tool can be started up again quickly
from the same screen it was on previous to going to sleep.
Sleep Mode settings can be found in Windows Control Panel > Power Options. For additional
information, refer to Windows 7 user documentation.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that you terminate any current vehicle communication and save any open
working files or data before entering Sleep Mode, to avoid any ECM problems on some vehicles
or data loss from any unforeseen circumstances (e.g. power loss).
z To enter Sleep Mode:
• Press and release the Power button.
The display screen will turn off and the LED backlit power button will light up red, blinking on
and off at two second intervals.
z To exit Sleep Mode (wake up):
1. Press and release the Power button.
The display screen will turn on and resume the last open application. Depending on settings,
you may need to select your user ID icon to open the last application.
3.1.4 Emergency Shutdown
IMPORTANT:
Using the emergency shutdown procedure while communicating with the vehicle ECM may lead
to ECM problems on some vehicles.
During normal operation turn the Diagnostic Tool off using the Turning Off procedure above. The
emergency shutdown procedure should only be used If the Diagnostic Tool does not respond to
navigation or control buttons or exhibits erratic operation. To force an emergency shutdown, press
and hold the Power button for five seconds until the Diagnostic Tool turns off.
