POWER ON THE CONSOLE
The console can be turned on with or without the cable already inserted.
1) Press ON key and keep it pressed. The Smart Console will turn on.
2) Notice that the led is off and it remains off for about three second even if the
console is booting. If ON button is released while the led is turned off, the
console will turn off too.
3) As soon as the led lights up, release the ON button: the console is now
operating correctly. HOME SCREEN has appeared.
4) Jump to related section: either 3.3 or 3.4 for further instructions.
BATTERY LIFE
Battery life depends on many variables so it is difficult to determine an estimated
time. In general battery consumption is larger in the following conditions :
Serial/CAN communication running continuously at high speed;
USB
device
connected
When batteries reach a low charge level:
the display will show a battery icon in the top part of the display (see
chapter 7)
led will start blinking fast
Once battery low is signaled, replace the batteries as soon as possible to avoid
sudden switching off.

It is not possible to recharge the batteries while they are placed inside the Smart
Console. They must be removed and an external charger must be used.

There is no indications for discharged batteries if the console is not powered by
them.
To save battery life there is an option which automatically switches off the
console after a certain time of inactivity has elapsed.
This function is activated by parameter MAX IDLE TIME: see section 6.1.
EMERGENCY SUPPLY (CAN connection only)
In case battery charge is low and it is absolutely necessary to avoid the console
switching off, there is a possibility to keep the console alive.
If a valid supply source is at hand and:
Power supply voltage is within CNX8 ratings (see 2.2.1)
Supply voltage is referenced to console ground
It is possible to connect this power supply to console CNX8: the console will start
taking supply from CNX8 and it will disable the internal batteries.
From this point console operation falls in the same case as in section 3.5
POWER OFF THE CONSOLE
To switch off the console press again the ON key and keep it pressed until the
led switches off.
At this point the console can be turned off safely: release the ON key to complete
shutdown.
