If this has no effect then a hard reset may be required. Hard resets should be avoided as they bypass the operating system
shutdown procedures and may cause problems with the file system. To perform a hard reset, press and hold the reset button on
the back panel for 5 seconds.
To force the console to power off completely, press and hold the reset button on the back panel until it powers off (approximately
10 seconds.)
1.10 Power Supply Protection
MagicQ MQ60, MQ70, MQ100, MQ200 and MQ300 have an internal battery designed to protect the system against short term
power losses on troublesome power supplies. The internal battery is not designed to support the running of the console for long
periods of time. If the power is lost then the console will prompt the user to fix the problem or to shut down the console. The
battery when fully charged will support the console for between 5 and 15 minutes.
If your version of the console does not have an internal battery then we recommend the use of a UPS (Un-interruptible Power
Supply).
1.11 Care of your MagicQ console
• To keep your MagicQ console in best condition please observe the following recommendations:
• Keep liquids away from the MagicQ. Drinks split over your console may cause irreparable damage.
• Keep the console out of direct sunlight – place the console in the shade.
• Do not use the console outside its operating temperature range.
• Handle the console with care when moving or transporting it. The console contains components that may be damaged by
shock. Always use a padded flight case or padded bag wherever possible.
• Do not use solvents or cleansers to clean the console. Do not rub firmly on the metal or plastic surfaces – this may cause the
paint or lettering to be removed. Gently use a damp cloth to clean the panels.
1.12 Safety Information
• Do not open the front, rear or lower panels of the console unless you have electrical expertise. The console contains components
with voltages that may shock.
• Do not use the console if the power cables are damaged in any way.
• Repairs should only be undertaken by authorised service representatives.
• If liquids are spilt over the console then remove power immediately, and seek advice from your authorised service representa-
tive.
