Power Button
Note: Refer to the section titled "Power Modes" later in this manual for information relating to
the power states of the MX3-CE.
The power button is located above the ESC key on the keypad. When a battery is inserted in the
MX3-CE for the first time, the unit automatically powers on -- the Power button does not need to
be pressed.
Quickly tapping the Power button places the MX3-CE immediately in Suspend mode. Quickly
tapping the Power button again, or touching the screen, immediately returns the MX3-CE from
Suspend.
Reboot Sequence
Hold the Power key down until the display goes out (about 15 seconds), then release the Power
button.
When the WinCE desktop is displayed or an application begins, the power up (or reboot) sequence
is complete.
