Off Timer
The MX1-IS does not have a backup battery. As the backup battery is the
device that keeps the unit in Critical Suspend state until a fully charged Main
Battery pack can be installed, this parameter setting is ignored.
Off Timer designates, in minutes, how long the MX1-IS waits in critical suspend mode before
shutting down.
The Off Timer begins its countdown when the MX1-IS is in the critical suspend state. Critical
suspend state is initiated when there is a Main Battery Power Fail caused by the inserted battery
pack failing or the main battery being removed from the MX1-IS. The Off Timer begins the
countdown as soon as power draw is transferred from the Main Battery pack to the Backup
battery.
Values:
0 - 63 minutes (in 1 minute increments)
Default: 5
minutes
The backup battery will continue to operate the MX1-IS, in very low power mode, for the number
of minutes set in the Off Timer parameter.
When the MX1-IS is in critical suspend mode the main battery icon appears on the screen, all
peripherals shut down, the CPU clock is stopped, power is removed from the PCMCIA cards, and
the Status LED is blinking red.
The MX1-IS is saving the state prior to the main battery failing and cannot be used.
•
If a fully charged main battery pack is installed before the Off Timer time expires the
MX1-IS will transition to Suspend. Exiting from Suspend allows the MX1-IS to
resume operation where it left off – install the new battery pack.
•
If the Off Timer expires the MX1-IS will turn itself off and all unsaved information is
lost. Insert a fully charged battery pack and press the Power button to turn the MX1-IS
back on.
•
When the Off Timer parameter is set to 0, the MX1-IS skips the critical suspend state
and turns off immediately – it will not use backup battery power. The currently
unsaved information is lost.
•
When the main battery pack is removed and the MX1-IS completely drains the backup
battery, the MX1-IS’s date and time settings are lost but all other parameters are
recovered. When a fully charged battery pack is again inserted in the MX1-IS, the
backup battery will recharge itself using the power in the battery pack. The main
battery life during the recharge session is lessened.
