Backup Battery
The Marathon has a permanent lithium battery installed to maintain time, date and BIOS setup information. The backup battery
is not user serviceable and should last five years with normal use before it requires replacement. The lithium backup battery
should only be exchanged by authorized service personnel.
Power Button
The Power (on/off) button is a push button located on the upper right corner of the Marathon. If the Marathon is Off, pressing the
power button turns the Marathon On.
If the Marathon is On, Windows determines the results of a power button press based on user configuration. For example, the
Marathon may be configured to:
•
Shut down.
•
Hibernate.
•
Ignore the power button press.
•
Ask user to choose.
Power button behavior is configured by selecting:
Pressing and holding the power switch for several seconds forces a shutdown.
The Marathon is designed for a controlled shutdown when using the power button. A controlled shutdown first closes any open
programs, and then shuts down the Windows operating system. When the main battery is discharged, DO NOT remove external
power from the Marathon without first shutting down the Marathon.
The Marathon shutdown may be initiated in any of the following ways:
•
Selecting the
Shutdown
option from the Windows Start Menu.
•
Selecting the
Shutdown
option from the Windows Task Manager. The Windows Task Manager is opened by pressing Ctrl-
Alt-Del and clicking the Task Manager button.
•
Momentarily pressing and releasing the power button. The Marathon behavior when the power button is pressed can be
configured in the Power Options control panel.
•
Pressing and holding the power button for approximately five seconds. Any open programs and the Windows operating
system are shut down before power off. Note that this option must be used to shut down when the operating system is not
responding.
For more information on the Windows shutdown process, refer to Help and Support on the Windows Start menu or commercially
available Windows guides.
Reset Button
Use with caution. The Reset button is on the right side (display facing up) of the Marathon. Press the Reset button in with the tip
of the stylus and the Marathon immediately disconnects all power sources. The Marathon turns Off (uncontrolled shutdown).
