Turning Your Hand-Held Computer On
and Off (Suspending)
Turning On Your Computer
Turn your hand-held computer on by pressing and releasing
the [I/O] key. When your computer is cold booted (turning
on the first time or after resetting), it displays several mes-
sages in rapid succession. The first message shows the firm-
ware version and its release date (DD/MMM/YY). If you are
just resuming, the display is restored to its previous state.
The screens that follow depend on your application. The
documentation that addresses using this computer as a
batch (store now and send later) unit instruct you about all
remaining operations.
Suspending Your Hand-Held
Computer
To suspend operation, press and release the [I/O] key once.
Suspending operation works only if your computer is not
plugged into a charging source. The memory contents are
protected when the power is suspended.
Automatic Suspend
Your computer automatically puts itself into the suspend
mode after a period of inactivity. However, waiting to sus-
pend uses battery energy. Therefore it is best to manually
suspend it by pressing the [I/O] key when not entering da-
ta. The memory contents are protected when the power is
suspended.
Terminal Emulation programs do not automatically sus-
pend. When lying idle but not manually suspended, the in-
tegrated radio module is still active and will drain battery
