Power Status
The power status setting lets you specify power
management options for when the 375 Field
Communicator is running on battery power. To specify
values for the stand by or auto-off timers, select the time
intervals from the drop-down menus. After the specified
periods of inactivity, the stand by timer will put the 375
Field Communicator in stand by mode, or the auto-off
timer will turn off the 375 Field Communicator. If set to
short intervals, these timers will save battery power.
The Maximize Power Savings option conserves
additional battery power by allowing the 375 Field
Communicator to enter stand by mode or shut down
when communicating with a device. To enable Maximize
Power Savings, tap the checkbox and a checkmark
appears. If this option is disabled, the 375 Field
Communicator will not enter stand by or shut down when
communicating with a device.
The Maximize Power Savings option applies only when
the 375 Field Communicator is communicating with a
device. If it is not communicating with a device, the 375
Field Communicator will enter stand by or shut down
when the timer expires, independent of the Maximize
Power Savings option. This can occur when viewing
certain menus, such as the Settings menu or an
application main menu.
When you determine the appropriate power
management settings, tap OK to apply the settings for
this session only, SET DEFAULT to retain the settings
upon start up, or CANCEL to exit without changes.
