o
If the on/off signal is brought back high again while the device is shutting down, it
won’t restart automatically. A low-to-high transition must occur after the device has
fully shut down to make a restart.
2. By operating system shutdown requests.
To ensure that data is not lost nor the flash memory corrupted, it is recommended that all
necessary data be saved and all programs closed before the device is shut down.
Note
that the device won’t shut down from Suspend mode by these actions. See chapter 5.2.2
for details of Suspend mode and wakeup.
When performing any of the above, the CCpilot V700 device will shut down.
5.2.2.
Suspending/resuming
Suspending and resuming are faster alternative to shutting down and starting up the device. In
suspend mode, the data remains in RAM memory and the device must be connected to
external power supply to maintain its state.
Suspend mode can be entered in two ways:
1. By disconnecting the external on/off control, i.e. using the turn key functionality.
o
By factory default, disconnecting the external on/off control is configured to shut-
down the device.
2. By selecting the operating systems suspend alternative.
Observe that the product current consumption in suspend mode is higher than in shut-down
mode.
To prevent a vehicles or machines battery from draining when the device is suspended, a user
configurable time-out can be set for how long the unit shall stay in suspend mode before it
automatically shuts down. The default suspend time-out is set to 60 minutes.
Resuming from suspend mode can be done by the following event:
1. By a low-to-high transition of the external on/off control, i.e. using the turn-key functionality.
Configuration of suspend and resume is done through the CCSettingsConsole application or
using the CCAux API. See the software guide for details.

Light sensor
The CCpilot V700 contains a light sensor that can be used to automatically adjust the display
brightness, depending on the ambient light conditions. As depicted in Figure 2, the light sensor
is located in the lower right corner of the front surface. When automated dimming is enabled,
the level of sensitivity can be adjusted.
The screen brightness can also be manually controlled directly from user applications through
APIs.
