Figure 2-2 Location of the Power (PWR) Button
The Power button is used to turn the MX3 on and off and place it into the Suspend state. The
button will beep when pressed and beep again every second while it is held down.
How To
• Turn the MX3 off
Hold the Power key down for 4 beeps (signifies 3 or more
seconds) then release.
• Turn the MX3 on
Hold the Power key down until the display turns on.
• Force the Suspend state
Tap the Power key (1 beep). The Suspend state is useful for
breaks or when swapping batteries as the unit does not need
to be turned off prior to replacing the Main Battery.
• Wake from Suspend
Wake the MX3 from Suspend (before the 5 minute timer
expires) using any of the following:
• Tap Power key
• Pen-touch on a touch screen display (if configured)
Note: The ability of the Touch screen activation to wake up the MX3 is configurable in BIOS
Setup. The ability of the Power Key to turn off or suspend the MX3 is configurable in the
BIOS Setup.
Critical Suspend Mode and the Off
Timer
The MX3 is automatically turned Off when the Off Timer expires. The Off Timer runs when the
MX3 is in Critical Suspend mode. The MX3 automatically goes into Critical Suspend mode when
the main battery is dead or removed. The Off Timer default is 5 minutes. The value can be
adjusted using the BIOS Setup.
