TOOLS FUNCTION
Using the tools application it is possible to customize different features of
esys
and display useful
information to get a first overview of the current status of the device in a support case.
In the tools menu, it is possible to check the battery level, change the language settings, update the
firmware, test the device, and much more and take the appropriate actions.
When the tools menu is opened,
esys
will first display the current firmware version number and
the date. Press centrally on the left hand side joystick to open the menu. The following will be
displayed:
“tls:power test update parameters about T”
This section displays the battery level and how your
esys
is being charged. The following is
displayed:
“pwr:voltage>4.2x power>usb power supply>charge ok T”
Voltage
This item displays the current battery level. Borderline values are 4,2 Volts (fully charged) and
3,3Volts (before security shut down). Middle operating value is set to 3,7 Volts.
When the battery reaches 3,5 Volts, an acoustic announcement reminds the user that it is time to
connect
esys
to an external power source. When the 3.3 Volts are reached,
esys
will
automatically turn off to save battery life.
NOTE: To save battery life, don’t expose
esys
to sunlight or hot surfaces. Please also take care to
not let
esys
run completely out of battery on a frequent basis.
Power
This item shows which cable is being used in order to charge the
esys
. Here are the different
messages that can be displayed: “external power” if a USB cable is being used or the power supply or
“battery” if not connected to a power source.
Power supply
This item refers to the internal power supply status. Here are messages you can find displayed in this
item:
“Power supply>precharge/normal/done/halt/inactive”
Precharge is displayed when your battery has been totally empty, during this phase the recharge in
current is less important. This phase will last only a few minutes.
Normal refers to the regular charge of the battery.
Done means that the battery has been fully charged
Halt means there has been an issue during the battery charge. It will stop the charge in order to keep
the battery safe. To charge the battery again when you are sure your power source is clean, restart
your
esys
and the charge will continue. If this message continues, please contact your local sales
representative.
