It describes the following operations: • • • • • • Power On Power Off Reset Access to PC and SIM cards Volume Control Standby Power On Ensure that the main power switch (MAIN SWITCH) on the rear CPU panel is in the ON position. Normal operation There are a number of ways to start the MW800.
18 NOTE: Your device performance might be slightly degraded (both boot up time and sustained operations) during extreme temperature conditions. Normal operation will resume when the ambient temperature returns to the operating range. Discharged Vehicle Battery If the power source is a standard 13.8V car battery, the device will normally power up when the voltage level exceeds 10.3 VDC. If, during normal operation, the battery voltage drops below 10.
19 CAUTION: If the system does not respond, you can turn the device off by pressing and holding the power button for 6 seconds or more. Be aware, this hardware power off may damage your hard disk. Extreme Shut Down Some extreme events may cause your device to power off. If any of these events occurs, you will be warned about it and asked to immediately save your work. The events are: • Internal temperature drops below the low operational limit.
20 To reset the device, press the keys, and select the Shut Down option from the Windows shut down screen. CAUTION: If the system does not respond, you can turn the device off by pressing and holding the power button for 6 seconds or more. Be aware, this hardware power off may damage your hard disk. Personal Card To insert a Personal Card into the slot: • • • • Pull the door latch and open the PC slot door.
21 • • Pull the door latch and open the PC slot door. Push the button and pullout the card from the slot. CAUTION: Inserting/removing SIM card when MW800 is running can corrupt SIM card information.
