Rugged

Operator’s Manual
POWER
The power button allows you to power on, suspend, power off, and reset
the device. A series of keypad actions lets you restore factory defaults to
the registry or to the whole device. Below are instructions for each action.
Suspending
Suspending the RuggedReader is different from powering it off:
• Suspending the device puts it to sleep, and when it is turned back on,
the device remembers where it was. Some battery power is used.
• Powering off the device closes all programs and turns off all of the
power. No battery power is used.
We recommend suspending your device if you want to resume your task
or if you plan to use the device on a daily basis.
1. To suspend your device, press the power button briefly and release.
2. To resume the device from suspend mode, press the power button
again.
Powering Off
Powering off ends all programs and removes power from all system
components except for the real-time clock. Unlike suspend mode, the
device resets when it is powered on again.
To preserve battery power, we recommend you power off the device if it
will be left unused for two weeks or longer.
To power off the RuggedReader:
TIP:
If the device
suspends while it
is charging, the
flashing red light
disappears. However, the
device continues to charge.
TIP:
The device
cannot be
powered off while
it is plugged into the wall
charger.
SECTION 3: USING THE HARDWARE
TIP:
The
RuggedReader
suspends
automatically after a
specified period of time with
no activity. To change this
automatic timeout, tap Start
> Settings > System tab >
Power > Advanced tab.
