Power Scheme
This dropdown menu allows you to specify whether the unit is using AC Power or
Battery Power.
Switch State To Suspend
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 min-
utes. Setting ‘Switch State To Suspend’ to ‘Never’ will adversely
affect the battery run time.
To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the
duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display
Backlight” on page 88).
When the 7530 G2 is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so
on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on),
the value chosen in the Suspend Timeout dropdown menu determines when the unit
will go to suspend state (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit
enters Suspend state. In Suspend state, the 7530 G2 CPU enters a sleep state, and the
radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing
[ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. When the 7530 G2 is in suspend
state, the network connection is broken immediately; you must re-establish the
network connection.
