You can put the 475 Field Communicator into standby to save power or
to reduce the boot-up time if you are using the 475 Field
Communicator intermittently. Standby turns off the touch screen and
areas within the 475 Field Communicator.
You can put the 475 Field Communicator in standby when the HART
Application or the Fieldbus Application is running. If you are working
online with a device when standby is entered, the application main
menu is displayed when the 475 Field Communicator returns from
standby. Otherwise, the 475 Field Communicator displays the last
open window.
To enter standby, press the Power key. From the Power Switch dialog
box, tap Stand by and tap OK or press the Enter key. Tap Cancel to
close the dialog box and return to the application. You can set the
default option on the Power Switch dialog box. See "Power Button" on
page 26 for more information.The green light on the Power key slowly
flashes when the 475 Field Communicator is in standby. To leave
standby, press the Power key.
The 475 Field Communicator also enters standby if the standby timer
has expired. See "Power" on page 25 for more information.
To shut down the 475 Field Communicator, press the Power key. From
the Power Switch dialog box, tap Shut down and tap OK or press the
Enter key. Tap Cancel to close the dialog box and return to the
application. You can set the default option on the Power Switch dialog
box. See "Power Button" on page 26 for more information.
The 475 Field Communicator shuts down if the auto-off timer has
expired. See "Power" on page 25 for more information.
You can also shut down the 475 Field Communicator by
simultaneously pressing the Backlight key and the Function key until
the display turns off. The shut down is accomplished in the hardware
(similar to removing the power to a PC using a switch). This is not the
recommended way of shutting off the 475 Field Communicator. Use
this method to shut down and reset the 475 Field Communicator if the
screen appears to lock up and does not respond when you use the
touch screen or keypad.
