English Power & Memory Management Power Modes MobileMapper CX comes with a removable/rechargeable battery, which provides enough energy for a full working day -provided you start your day with a fully charged battery. In order to ensure a longer battery life, use the external power whenever possible. When used, the external power source also automatically recharges the internal battery. The built-in advanced power saving features also help to optimize power consumption while the system is idle. The MobileMapper CX system has three power saving modes when the battery power is used: 1. User Idle mode: Backlights for both the display and keypad are switched off. Press any key or tap on the screen to switch on the backlights again. To switch off the backlights, tap (backlight) in Control Panel. In the Backlight Control dialog that opens (see figure opposite), tap the Backlight OFF button. 2. System Idle mode: The display as well as the backlights are switched off, but all the processes are still running. The power LED is on. Press any key or tap on the screen to switch on the display again. 3. Suspend mode: The display and backlight are turned off and the computer is idle but the GPS receiver still tracks satellites. The Power LED is on but flashing. NOTE: The internal battery CANNOT be recharged while the receiver is in Suspend mode. The battery can ONLY be recharged when the receiver is fully on, in User Idle or System Idle mode or fully shut down. 42
