three seconds ( ).
After the three seconds, a dialog will appear on the right of the display with the options

Energy states / power modes
The mobile reader has a power-saving mode and an emergency power supply.
Idle mode (power saving mode)
To activate Idle mode of the mobile reader, hold down the On/Off button on the right of the
reader for two seconds ( ).
In Idle mode, (system) processes minimize their power consumption and only the necessary
system components are kept running in order to save energy. In addition, the display is
switched off so that the reader uses only very little power and the battery lifetime can be
extended.
From this mode, the reader can be set to operational mode again very quickly because the
operating system does not need to be rebooted. Note that the reader continues to be
supplied with power in Idle mode and this mode can therefore only be retained for a certain
amount of time (depending on the charge level of the reader battery).
To switch back to operational mode, press the On/Off button on he right of the reader again
( ).
