Basic operations
This section covers basic operation of the device such as start-up, shut-down, suspend, resume, display
operation and status notification.
Observe that the behaviour of on/off controls (external on/off control and front panel soft keys) is user
configurable in terms of:
Enabling/disabling functionality
Which push button that shall hold the on/off functionality.
Configurable timing parameters
All CCpilot VC models containing soft keys present status notifications during start up by flashing the
soft keys backlight or beeping with the buzzer in different patterns.
Status notifications on CCpilot VC models without soft keys are limited to beeping with the buzzer and
they only present critical internal errors detected by the device.
The status notification behaviour in the operational state of the device is configurable by user
applications. Described herein are the factory default behaviours of the on/off controls and the status
notification.

signal will shut down the device unless configured otherwise.
