On/Off Switch

The power (on/off) switch is a push button switch located on the front control panel of the VX6.
The switch is a momentary switch. If the VX6 is Off, pressing the power switch turns the VX6
On.
For Platform 2 VX6's, the keyboard LEDs turn on for about one second when the operating
system loads the keyboard driver. If the LEDs blink more than once, this indicates a keyboard
problem.
P
If the VX6 is On, pressing and releasing the power switch turns the VX6 Off. An orderly
shutdown is preformed. Any open programs are closed, the Windows CE operating system shuts
down and then the VX6 powers off.
If a software lockup should occur and the VX6 is unresponsive to keyboard or touchscreen input,
pressing and holding the power button for several seconds forces a shutdown. However, the
forced shutdown is not an orderly shutdown. All unsaved data and any registry settings not saved
to persistent storage are lost.
The Status LED, located on the keyboard of the VX6, is lit when the power is on:
