Critical Suspend Mode

The purpose of the Critical Suspend mode is to reduce power consumption of the MX3X to a low
level that still retains the contents of SDRAM. The unit enters Critical Suspend Mode only when
the Main Battery has failed or is hot-swapped. The Backup Battery is supplying power to the unit
during Critical Suspend Mode.
When hot-swapping (the Main Battery is removed), the display turns off, the BATT M LED
begins to flash red, all peripherals are shut down, the CPU clock is stopped, and power is removed
from the PCMCIA card.
When the MX3X is in the Critical Suspend state (the Main Battery is in place and the unit is being
powered by the Backup Battery), the display turns off, the BATT M LED begins to flash red, all
peripherals are shut down, the CPU clock is stopped, and power is removed from the PCMCIA
card. The MX3X is saving the state prior to the Main Battery failing and cannot be used.
If a new fully charged main battery is installed before the Backup Battery is depleted
(approximately 5 minutes) the MX3X transitions to the Suspend state. To resume operation tap
the Power key.
If the Backup Battery is depleted before a fully charged Main Battery is inserted, the MX3X
immediately turns itself Off and all unsaved information is lost. Insert a fully charged Main
Battery and press the Power button to turn the MX3X On.

Off Mode

The unit is in Off Mode when the Main Battery and the Backup Battery are depleted.
Insert a fully charged Main Battery and press the Power button to turn the MX3X On.
