Battery Life and Replacement

IMPORTANT NOTES!

Lithium-Polymer battery technology degrades in capacity over time, unless the
battery is periodically charged and discharged. AMX recommends installing all
Lithium-Polymer batteries in functional AMX products within 6 months of receipt.
Charging Lithium Polymer batteries at high temperature will reduce the battery life.
Industry guidelines dictate that batteries should not be charged at temperatures
above 45° C (113° F). The temperature is determined by a combination of the
ambient temperature where the panel is located, plus temperature increases
normally occurring inside electronic devices containing batteries. AMX has
implemented battery temperature monitoring features to maximize the rate of battery
charging, while staying within industry temperature guidelines.
Battery charge times will increase in installations where the room temperature is
above 25° C (77° F), and may be temporarily suspended at room temperatures
above 30° C (86° F).
temperature has fallen to appropriate levels. Minimizing the display backlight intensity
and turning off the backlight during periods of non-use will also yield faster charge
times.
Please dispose of all used batteries in a proper fashion as required by municipal or
federal regulations.
Prior to battery removal, run the device until the battery is completely discharged.

Power Management

Since the MVP-9000i is a battery-powered handheld device, power management is a necessary concern. Under active
use, the charge on the integral Lithium-Polymer battery can last for as long as five days. However, to maximize usability
and minimize the chances of the device becoming completely discharged at a critical moment, the MVP-9000i should be
kept in its charging cradle or wall station when not in use.
The MVP-9000i operates on four distinct power modes:



Standby Mode cannot be entered if a USB device or microSD card is connected to
the MVP-9000i.

Battery charging will automatically resume once the
On - This is the normal power mode of the panel during operation. In this mode, all necessary modules are
powered up and their respective clocks are being driven appropriately. The device remains online with the
NetLinx Master and continues to appear in the online tree of NetLinx Studio.
Sleep - This mode of operation can be selected through the Setup Pages and only controls the backlight. In
this case, the unit remains on all the time, and only the backlight will be turned off after the user-selectable
time of inactivity has elapsed. The device remains online with the NetLinx Master and continues to be shown
in the online tree of NetLinx Studio. The unit shall transfer to the Awake mode after it detects a touch on the
touchscreen or capacitive touch buttons. This mode uses 50 percent of the power required for the Awake
mode.
Standby - In this mode, power to all components other than the touch screen is turned off after the user
selectable time of inactivity has elapsed. Device will turn back on by touching the screen. Re-acquiring an AP
connection may require up to 25 seconds.
