Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power > Schemes

Change the parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.

An amount of time has passed, set by the User Idle timer, and the device shuts down a minimum

User Idlenumber of services e.g., backlights. The System Idle timer and the Suspend timer have not expired yet.

System Idle

An amount of time has passed, set by the System Idle timer, and the device shuts down a few more services e.g., display. The User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer has not expired yet.

Suspend mode is entered when (1) the unit is inactive for a predetermined period of time, (2) the

Suspenduser taps the Power key, or (3) Start > Suspend is chosen. Inactivity means that internal devices that reset the power state are not active.

Battery Power Scheme

Use this option when the MX3Plus will be running on battery power only.

Switch state to User Idle

Default is After 3 seconds

 

 

Switch state to System Idle

Default is After 15 seconds

 

 

Switch state to Suspend

Default is After 5 minutes

 

 

AC Power Scheme

Use this option when the MX3Plus will be running on external power (e.g., connected to an A/C power source).

Switch state to User Idle

Default is After 2 minutes

 

 

Switch state to System Idle

Default is After 2 minutes

 

 

Switch state to Suspend

Default is After 5 minutes

 

 

The timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the power scheme timers never place the MX3Plus in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the MX3Plus is idle).

Using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above, the cumulative effect results in the following:

•The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,

•The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15 seconds + 3 seconds),

•And the MX3Plus enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.
