2.10 Powering Down the 8580/8590

Shutdown software. To access this setup:
• Tap on Start>Programs>PsionTeklogix>PTX Config.
Refer to “Automatic Switch Off” on page 71 for details.
The power LED switches off when 8580/8590 is shut down.
2.10.1 Powering Up the 8580/8590
Power up the 8580/8590 only after all devices have been connected and the vehicle-mount
has been closed correctly (remember the cable cover!). Otherwise, you may damage the
8580/8590!
Warning: The 8580/8590 must be disconnected from the power supply:
- before external devices (e.g., scanner, keyboard) can be connected or dis-
connected, and
- before the 8580/8590 can be connected to a network.
All connections and interfaces on the 8580/8590 are located on the under-
side of the unit.
Important: Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB
devices), the 8580/8590 must be disconnected from the power supply! If the
8580/8590 is equipped with an optional UPS battery, open the device only
after the power LED has switched off. Ignoring these guidelines could seri-
ously damage both the 8580/8590 and the connected devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are
switched on at the same time as the 8580/8590 or after you start the
8580/8590. If this is not possible, please ensure that the 8580/8590 is ade-
quately protected from power leakage caused by an external device.
