Basic Operations
This section covers basic operation of the device such as start-up and shut-down.
4.1.
Starting Up
Start the unit by pressing and releasing the On/Off button or using the turnkey functionality of the
On/Off signal in the power connector. The status indication LED will start flashing indicating that
the unit is starting up. For more information see
chapter 3.1 - Connecting to Power Supply
4.1.1.
Preheating
An internal temperature control prevents the device from starting in too cold or hot temperatures.
When starting the unit in extremely low temperatures, by default -25 °C or below, preheating is
activated to warm the unit before continuing the start-up sequence. When the internal temperature
reaches -25 °C the preheating is deactivated, and the unit continues to start up.
Note that preheating consumes energy from the vehicle’s battery. This can result in the vehicle not
starting after prolonged preheating due to a discharged battery.
4.2.
Turning Off
There are several ways to turn the device off. The behaviour of the On/Off button and the On/Off
signal through the Power connector can be adjusted in the CCsettings application and using the
CCAux API.
4.2.1.
Shutting Down
To ensure that data does not get lost or the flash memory becomes corrupt, it is recommended that
all necessary data shall is saved, and all programs closed before the unit is shut down.
There are three ways to turn off the device:
•
By releasing the power connectors On/Off signal, i.e. using the turn key functionality.
•
By selecting any of the operating systems shut-down alternatives.
•
CCpilot X1400 can also be turned off by pressing the On/Off button on the display for four
seconds and then releasing it. The time can be adjusted in settings and it can also be
disabled so that the unit cannot be shut down using the button, to prevent turning the
computer off accidentally.
When performing any of the above, the device will shut down. The status LED will flash in yellow to
indicate that releasing the On/Off button will result in the unit shutting down.
4.2.2.
Forced Shut Down
If the device is not responding, a forced shut down can be performed by pressing and holding the
On/Off button until the computer is turned off. The time for the forced shut down is double the
normal shut down time or a minimum of eight seconds, by default it is set to eight seconds.
Any information which was not saved will be lost when performing a forced shut down. It is not
recommended to use the forced shut down since it immediately shuts down the computer
regardless of the operating system state.
