Power Button Functions
Figure 18 Location of the Power (PWR) Button
The Power button is used to turn the MX3 on and off and force it into the Suspend state. The
MX3 will beep when the power key is pressed and beep once every second the button is held
down.
How To
• Turn the MX3 off
Hold the Power key down for 4 beeps (signifies 3 or more
seconds) then release.
• Turn the MX3 on
Hold the Power key down until the display turns on.
• Force the Suspend state
Tap the Power key (1 beep). The Suspend state is useful for
breaks or when swapping batteries as the unit does not need to
be turned off prior to replacing the Main Battery.
• Wake from Suspend
Wake the MX3 from Suspend (before the 5 minute timer
expires) by tapping the Power key.
Note: The Suspend timer is configurable in the BIOS Setup. See the “MX3 Reference Guide”.
Off Timer and Critical Suspend Mode
The MX3 is automatically turned off when the Off Timer expires. The Off Timer runs when the
MX3 is in Critical Suspend mode. The MX3 automatically goes into Critical Suspend when the
Main Battery is dead or removed. The Off Timer default is 5 minutes. The Off Timer value can be
adjusted using the BIOS Setup.
