Power Source

This dialog box allows you to specify the suspend time for either AC Power or Battery Power.

Suspend Timeout

Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display and the keyboard backlight are ‘on’ (see “Display Back- light” on page 76 and “Keyboard Backlight” on page 81).

When NEO is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan and so on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application and so on) – the hand-held uses the value assigned in the Suspend Timeout field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (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 hand-held 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 NEO is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.
