Power Settings
Suspending the device
Suspending your MapSight is different from powering it off. During suspend mode, the device
sleeps but remembers where it was when it is turned on again; when you power off your
MapSight, it does a basic reset. We recommend suspending your device if you want to resume
your task or if you plan to use the device on a daily basis.
To suspend your device, press the power button briefly and release. To resume the device,
press the power button again briefly.
Note: If you suspend the device while it is charging, the flashing charge LED disappears.
However, the device continues to charge.
Powering off MapSight
Powering off the device ends all programs and removes power from all system components except for
the real-time clock. Powering off your device saves power without draining the battery.
We recommend powering off the mobile device if it will be inactive for more than one week.
To power off your MapSight, follow these steps:
Save and close all applications. (For instructions on backing up
your files, see the section called Backing up data.)
Press the Power button until the Power Button menu appears,
as shown here.
Tap Power Off, then OK.
Note: The keyboard backlight stays on for a few seconds after the device shuts
off. Until the keyboard backlight turns off, the device cannot be powered on
again.
To power on the device, hold the power button until the green notification LED
appears. The device is now booting. This process takes about a minute.
