On/Off Switch
The power (on/off) switch is a push button switch located on the front control panel of the VX6.
The switch is a momentary switch. If the VX6 is Off, pressing the power switch turns the VX6
On.
If the VX6 is On, pressing and releasing the power switch turns the VX6 Off. An orderly
shutdown is preformed. Any open programs are closed, the Windows CE .NET operating system
shuts down and then the VX6 powers off.
If a software lockup should occur and the VX6 is unresponsive to keyboard or touchscreen input,
pressing and holding the power button for several seconds forces a reboot. However, the forced
reboot does not perform an orderly shutdown. All unsaved data and any registry settings not
saved to persistent storage are lost.
The Status LED, located on the keyboard of the VX6, is lit when the power is on:
•
Green – VX6 is operating from vehicle power or AC power.
•
Solid Yellow – VX6 is operating from the UPS, UPS battery is good.
•
Flashing Yellow – VX6 is operating from the UPS, UPS battery is critically low.
Note: Always turn the computer off prior to removing power cables.
