Turning off Your Unit
Unless specified otherwise in this documentation, the settings you
configure on your unit are kept in memory even when you turn the unit off.
There are several ways to turn off the unit, including the following:
 Sleep: keeps the unit’s status information in memory (RAM). The next
time you turn your unit on, you will quickly return to your work
environment (running applications will still be running). If you intend
to leave your unit in sleep mode for a long period of time (one day or
more), you should perform a shutdown instead to save battery power.
 Shutdown: completely cuts power to the unit; the unit will perform a
complete restart routine the next time you use it. You should perform a
shutdown if you do not intend to use your unit for several hours.
After a shutdown, the unit will start in the inspection screen.
Note: Should the unit ever stop responding, you can force a hardware reset by
pressing and holding down the on/off button for at least 10 seconds. To
restart your unit, release the on/off button, and then press it again as you
normally do to start your unit. The last capture or modifications made to
the settings may be lost, but the rest of the data will still be available.
To enter the sleep mode:
Briefly press the on/off button. The unit’s touchscreen will turn off and be
deactivated.
To exit the sleep mode and resume your work:
Press the on/off button or press the trigger.
To turn off the unit completely (shutdown):
Press the on/off button for about three seconds. A shutdown animation will
be displayed on the screen.
