Set Power Scheme Timers
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power > Schemes
Change the parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.
User Idle
An amount of time has passed, set by the User Idle timer, and the device shuts down a minimum
number of services e.g., backlights. The System Idle timer and the Suspend timer have not expired
yet.
System Idle
An amount of time has passed, set by the System Idle timer, and the device shuts down a few more
services e.g., display. The User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer has not expired yet.
Suspend
Suspend mode is entered when (1) the unit is inactive for a predetermined period of time, (2) the
user taps the Power key, or (3) Start > Suspend is chosen. Inactivity means that internal devices
that reset the power state are not active.
Battery Power Scheme
Use this option when the MX3Plus will be running on battery power only.
Switch state to User Idle Default is After 3 seconds
Switch state to System Idle Default is After 15 seconds
Switch state to Suspend Default is After 5 minutes
AC Power Scheme
Use this option when the MX3Plus will be running on external power (e.g., connected to an A/C power source).
Switch state to User Idle Default is After 2 minutes
Switch state to System Idle Default is After 2 minutes
Switch state to Suspend Default is After 5 minutes
The timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend
timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the power
scheme timers never place the MX3Plus in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the MX3Plus is idle).
Using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above, the cumulative effect results in the following:
l The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,
l The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15 seconds + 3 seconds),
l And the MX3Plus enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.
