Setting Power Scheme Timers
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power > Schemes
Change the parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.
User Idle
An amount of time has passed, set by the User Idle timer, and the device shuts down a minimum number of services e.g.,
backlights. The System Idle timer and the Suspend timer have not expired yet.
System Idle
An amount of time has passed, set by the System Idle timer, and the device shuts down a few more services e.g., display. The
User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer has not expired yet.
Suspend
Suspend mode is entered when (1) the unit is inactive for a predetermined period of time, (2) the user taps the Power key, or (3)
Start > Suspend is chosen. Inactivity means that internal devices that reset the power state are not active.
Battery Power Scheme
Use this option when the MX9 will be running on battery power only.
AC Power Scheme
Use this option when the MX9 will be running on external power (e.g., connected to an A/C power source).
The timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Sus-
pend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the
power scheme timers never place the MX9 in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the MX9 is idle).
Using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above, the cumulative effect results in the following:
• The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,
• The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15 seconds + 3 seconds),
• And the MX9 enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.
Switch state to User Idle Default is After 3 seconds
Switch state to System Idle Default is After 15 seconds
Switch state to Suspend Default is After 5 minutes
Switch state to User Idle Default is After 2 minutes
Switch state to System Idle Default is After 2 minutes
Switch state to Suspend Default is After 5 minutes
