IDLMAX Front Panel
Switching on the iDLMax
To switch the iDLMax on, insert a charged battery into the iDLMax. Hold the <POWER> key ( ) down for two seconds and release. The
backlight will turn on briefly and the iDLMax will then boot up, displaying the boot sequence on the display. Once the Microsoft ® Windows CE
operating system is fully loaded into the iDLMax memory, a green LED to the left of the up-arrow direction key will turn on.
From a complete shutdown state, the iDLMax takes approximately twelve to twenty eight seconds to turn on and an audible beep will be heard.
From a suspend or hibernation state, the iDLMax takes less than one second to turn on.
When the unit is switched on for the first time or after a complete shut down,
the boot sequence may take approximately 12 – 28 seconds to complete.
The duration is also depending on the quantity of 3
rd
party applications loaded on the unit.
Switching off the iDLMax
To switch the iDLMax off, hold down the <POWER> key ( ) for two to three seconds. This will put the iDLMax into the default suspend mode. A
green LED to the left of the up-arrow direction key will flicker intermittently indicating that the device is in suspend mode.
To power the iDLMax down completely, hold down the <POWER> key (
) for four to five seconds as per the message displayed (as shown in
figure 1-2). A menu will then be displayed providing options to Suspend, Power down or Cancel the power down (as shown in figure 1-3). The
iDLMax will create a restore point to save all registry and related installed information when the “Power down” option is selected before shutting the
unit down.
Note that a complete power down is generally only performed when the
unit will be stored over extensive periods, or after applications has been installed,
or when a ‘fresh’ restart is desired. The default mode of switching off, is the suspend mode.
