In the Power Properties dialog box, open the Suspend tab.

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 backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display Backlight” on page 84).

When the Ikôn 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 Ikôn 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 Ikôn 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 Ikôn is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.
