Power Modes

The VX6 has several distinct power modes.
VX6 Reference Guide
•
On Mode – When the VX6 is attached to either vehicle 12-80 VDC or an external
power supply and the power button is pressed, the VX6 is in the On mode. In this
mode, the keypad, touchscreen and any attached peripherals such as a scanner
function normally. The display remains on until the backlight timer (if enabled)
expires.
•
User Idle Mode – If the Display Backlight Timer is enabled (see the Display section
in the Windows CE Control panel), the VX6 enters User Idle Mode when the display
backlight timer expires without any Primary Event (see below) to reset the timer.
The VX6 exits User Idle Mode with any Primary Event. The keypress or screen
touch that exits User Idle Mode is sent to the operating system. The VX6 then
transitions to On Mode.

System Idle Mode – The VX6 does not support System Idle mode.
•
Suspend Mode – TheVX6 does not support Suspend mode. However, if the
Suspend timer is enabled, the VX6 transitions to Off mode when the Suspend timer
expires.
•
Off Mode – The VX6 turns off if the user presses the power button when the VX6 is
On. The VX6 is also off when it is not connected to a power source. However, an
internal Real Time Clock (RTC) powered by an internal battery maintains the date
and time while the VX6 is off.
