4.2.3.
Forced Shutdown
If the CCpilot VC is not responding, a forced shutdown can be performed by pressing and holding a
pushbutton (that is configured as action trigger) until the device is switched off.
The default button-press time for performing a forced shutdown is 8 seconds.
By factory default, no action is configured for the pushbuttons.
A forced shutdown immediately shuts down the device, regardless of its operational state. Any
information which was not saved will be lost when performing a forced shutdown. Any ongoing writing
to the flash memory will be disrupted which may lead to a corrupted file system.
Therefore it is not recommended to use the forced shutdown feature unless absolutely
necessary.

Adjusting the screen brightness
With the CCpilot VC device it is possible to configure buttons as dedicated backlight brightness
buttons to gradually increase or decrease the display brightness. Note that this is not configured as
factory default.
The screen brightness can also be controlled from software, which also allows for automatic
adjustment of the brightness using the front panel light sensor.
The backlight brightness adjustment may optionally also be automatically applied to the pushbutton
backlight. The pushbutton backlight can otherwise be set separately using CCsettings application or
the CCAux API.

Using the touch screen
This chapter applies to CCpilot VC devices containing a touch screen.
The display is equipped with a touch functionality which gives the opportunity to provide a very easy-
to-use HMI (Human Machine Interface) for the user.

Touch screen double- and right-click operation
Double click is performed similar to using an external pointing device. Tap the screen twice in the
same place.
Tap and hold the touch screen to perform a “right-click” operation.
4.4.2.
Touch screen calibration
Touch screen calibration can be started by activating the Touch Calibrator application from default
start up screen application. It’s also possible start calibration from the command line. For detail, see
the software documentation.

Status notification
All CCpilot VC models containing soft keys present status notifications during start up and
operational state by flashing the soft keys backlight or beeping with the buzzer in different patterns.
