Advanced Features
Power Modes The receiver has three power modes:
• Shutdown: The receiver is off.
• On: The receiver is fully powered
• Suspend: In this mode, the screen content and backlight
are turned off to save power and the use context is saved.
When quitting the Suspend mode, the use context is
restored instantly. Typically this mode is used in the field
to allow a quick restart after a pause.
The receiver can also enter the Suspend mode
automatically in case of a very low battery after dismissing
successively the two “low battery” alerts, or after an idle
time that you can set through a press on the Windows key,
and selecting
Settings, Power (Advanced tab) (See also
Power Management on page 5).
Suspend Mode
The receiver can be switched to Suspend mode. This is a
power saving mode typically used in the field to allow a quick
restart after a pause. In this mode, only some parts of the
receiver are powered for the sole purpose of restoring the
context of use in which the receiver was when it was switched
to Suspend mode. The receiver should NOT however be used
in that mode while collecting raw data.
The receiver can also enter the Suspend mode automatically
in case of a very low battery after dismissing successively the
two “low battery” alerts, or after an idle time that you can set
through a press on the Windows key, then
Settings, System and
Power (Advanced tab) (See also Power Management on
page 5). When collecting raw data, please clear this option so
that the receiver can never enter this mode.
Internal Battery Monitoring the Battery Discharging Status
The receiver will continuously inform you of the current
status of the battery through an icon located in the Windows
Embedded title bar (on the right). The different shapes of
this icon indicate the current discharging status, as listed
below:
