OFF Factors

The OFF factors refer to various causes that make the system enter the OFF state (suspend state), as

follows:

System operation can be suspended by holding down the

Power switch for more than a second. (see note)

 

Auto Power OFF

System operation automatically shifts to the suspend state

specified period of time.

 

 

The duration until Auto Power OFF occurs can be set and

 

 

modified through the System Menu or system library.

Therefore, if the LB1 alarm sounds, recharge or replace

 

 

the battery as soon as possible.

For more information about LB0 and LB1, refer to Chapter 2.2.4, "Battery Voltage Monitoring Process".

For information about the system library refer to Chapter 8.6.2. “System Library”. For information about the System Menu refer to Chapter 3 “System Menu”.

For information about the method used by each application to acquire a power ON/OFF event, refer to Chapter 9.5 “Remaining Battery Voltage Display Utility”.

Note:

Hold down the Power switch for more than one second until the power is off. This is done to prevent the power from accidentally being turned off by the user. In addition, key input will not be enabled for approximately one second after the Power switch has been pressed.

This occurs because the monitoring timer starts operating the moment the Power switch is pressed and does not allow key input for about one second until this timer expires.

After this interval, key input becomes possible.
