Chapter 2: Getting Started

Resetting the EP10

• To display the Power Options dialog box, press and hold down the [Power] button.
A Power Options dialog box like the sample below is displayed. Each option switches off different elements
of the EP10.
Choosing Suspend places the hand-held into a power-saving suspend state. In this state, all radios remain
on, but the display and keyboard backlight are switched off. The processor operates in a low-power state.
When the EP10 is turned on from this state, operation resumes within a few seconds in the screen in which
you were working prior to suspend.
Choosing Power off results in a full shutdown of the EP10 including the radio.
Note: Keep in mind that the Power Options dialog box is displayed only by pressing and holding down
the [Power] button. If you press and immediately release the [Power] button, the EP10 automati-
cally enters suspend mode.
