5.5.4.2 Power Saving Suspend
•In the Power Properties dialog box, open the Suspend tab.
Power Source
This dialog box allows you to specify the suspend time for either AC Power or
Battery Power.
Suspend Timeout
When NEO is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan and so on) or system
activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application and so on) – the hand-held uses
the value assigned in the Suspend Timeout field to determine when the unit will go to sleep
(appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters
suspend state. In suspend state, the hand-held CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut
off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the
system from suspend state. When NEO is in suspend state, the network connection will not
be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network
connection.
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. To
further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time
that the display and the keyboard backlight are ‘on’ (see “Display Back-
light” on page 76 and “Keyboard Backlight” on page 81).
