2.3.3 Switching The Ikôn Off
• To switch off the Ikôn, press and hold the Power button for five seconds. The Shutdown
dialog box (Figure 2.4 on page 13) will appear for you to choose whether you want to
Shutdown or Suspend.
Note: If the unit was already in use—the unit may be off (suspend state)—pressing
[ENTER] ‘wakes’ the unit from this state. The screen in which you were working
prior to the suspend state is displayed. “GPS” on page 104 describes how you can
assign other ‘wakeup’ keys or enable a two-key ‘power on’ sequence.
Important: If your Ikôn fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting
options:
The battery capacity may be too low (capacity < 100mAh), it may be over-
heated (>60C°), a non-Psion Teklogix battery may be installed, or the
battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend Threshold. See
“Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup” on page 102
for details.
If you provide AC power to an Ikôn, and either the battery capacity is too
low or the battery is overheated, a yellow LED will flash and the unit will
not
switch on. To switch on the PDA, you will need to replace the over-
heated battery or, in the case of a depleted battery, wait for the capacity to
reach an acceptable level.
However, if you supply AC power to an Ikôn with a battery that falls below
the configured Suspend Threshold, the PDA will
switch on.
Important: Keep in mind that turning off the Ikôn does not result in a complete reboot;
rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the unit is
turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
