7.4 Power Management
The Power Management menu option has three criteria to help preserve
battery life and help keep operating temperatures low when working in
hot conditions.
Display Off Time
Switch off the IQ’s display screen after 5 seconds, 20 seconds, 1
minute, 5 minutes. The display can also be set to remain permanently
on while the IQ is in operation with the Always On option.
Battery Charging
The IQ back has an integrated battery charger to ensure that the battery
is charged when shooting tethered via a USB or FireWire connection.
This function can be switched off or set to Slow or Fast. The Slow and
Off settings should be chosen to preserve the battery life of a laptop
when shooting tethered.
N.B. The battery will only charge via a USB or FireWire connection
when the IQ back is switched on. Please note that most USB ports
cannot provide enough power to charge the battery inside the back
while working or while in standby, however battery life is prolonged
during charging. This is a limitation with the current USB2.0 and USB3.0
technology. If the back is powered off while connected to USB, it will
continue to charge. Battery charging is indicated by an orange LED on
the rear of the back when it has been turned off.
Auto Power Down
Auto Power Down determines the amount of time before the IQ back
shuts down, when there is no activity. Choose 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30
minutes, 2 hours or deactivate this function by selecting Off.
Press the Power button to switch on and restart the IQ back after it has
shut down.
