Chapter 5: Configuration

Advanced Power Properties

When the 8515 is idle—not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, etc.) or system ac- tivity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, etc.)—the value chosen in the Suspend Timeout dropdown menu determines when the unit will go to suspend state (appear to be off).

When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters Suspend state. In Suspend state, the 8515 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. When the 8515 is in suspend state, the network connection is broken im- mediately; therefore you must re-establish the network connection.
