PRELIMINARY
4-2-3 Power Shut Down (cont’d)
4-2-3-1 Standby Mode
Follow the steps below to select Standby Mode
This procedure describes the steps required to power down the unit to Standby mode:
NOTE: Don’t press the On/Off button too long. If you press the button too long (more than 3-4 seconds), a
full shutdown is started.
1.) Hold down the On/Off button for 3-5 seconds to evoke the display of the System Exit dialog box
(see Figure 4-7 "System Exit Dialog Box" on page 4-7).
2.) Click the Standby button to activate Standby mode.
3.) Leave the mains power cable connected to keep the standby battery fully charged.
Follow steps below if you need to disconnect power cable when unit is in standby mode
1.) Switch OFF the Mains Power from the wall outlet.
2.) Disconnect the power cable.
The system will remain in Standby mode until the battery reaches 15% of its full capacity. Reaching
levels below 15% of battery full capacity will evoke a full shutdown.
As described above, the battery is automatically charged when the system is plugged into the wall
outlet and the power is switched ON. It takes approximately 4 hours to charge a flat battery.
If the system is left in the OFF condition (system unplugged from the wall out let) for an extended
period of time (3 to 5 days or more), the system may not boot up or may beep when turned ON.
Should this occur, the system needs to recharge the batteries. This could take 15 minutes to as
long as 4 hours, depending on the battery age, system input voltage and system temperature. To
eliminate draining the batteries, the system should remain plugged into the wall outlet with the wall
outlet power switch in the ON position.
NOTE: Connect the power cable to the mains power outlet again as soon as possible.
NOTE: When turning ON a system from standby mode, it takes a few seconds before it responds. Do not push
the On/Off button again during this period. Pushing and holding the button for 8 seconds will initiate a
full shutdown.
