Power Management

Since the MVP-9000i is a battery-powered handheld device, power management is a necessary concern. Under active use, the
charge on the integral Lithium-Polymer battery can last for as long as five days. However, to maximize usability and minimize the
chances of the device becoming completely discharged at a critical moment, the MVP-9000i should be kept in its charging cradle or
wall station when not in use.
The MVP-9000i operates on four distinct power modes:
On - This is the normal power mode of the panel during operation. In this mode, all necessary modules are powered up and

their respective clocks are being driven appropriately. The device remains online with the NetLinx Master and continues to
appear in the online tree of NetLinx Studio.
Sleep - This mode of operation can be selected through the Setup Pages and only controls the backlight. In this case, the

unit remains on all the time, and only the backlight will be turned off after the user-selectable time of inactivity has
elapsed. The device remains online with the NetLinx Master and continues to be shown in the online tree of NetLinx Studio.
The unit shall transfer to the Awake mode after it detects a touch on the touchscreen or capacitive touch buttons. This
mode uses 50 percent of the power required for the Awake mode.
Standby - In this mode, power to all components other than the touch screen is turned off after the user selectable time of

inactivity has elapsed. Device will turn back on by touching the screen. Re-acquiring an AP connection may require up to
25 seconds.
NOTE: Standby Mode cannot be entered if a USB device or microSD card is connected to the MVP-9000i.
NOTE: In Standby Mode, the panel will go offline.
Shutdown - The system enters this mode after a user selectable amount of inactivity time has elapsed or if the battery level

falls below 5 percent of its full charge. This is the absolute lowest mode of operation, during which power to all peripherals
and components is turned off. It is not online with the NetLinx Master and will not appear in NetLinx Studio. The system
remains in this mode until the screen is touched, or external power is applied.

Proper Battery Maintenance

To insure maximum performance and reliability of the MVP-9000i, please insure that a full charge is performed every 3 months if
not used regularly. If a battery is left uncharged beyond this time frame, it may result in premature battery lifespan degradation and
will require replacement.

Battery Replacement

The touch panel's battery is intended to last the life of the device, but in cases where the battery has reached its effective end of life,
it may be replaced.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!

To minimize the risk of damage to the battery during installation, all replacement batteries come in a protective metal cover
(FIG. 117). This cover cannot be removed from the battery.
