System Power States
The OS (Operating System) has 4 different power states as for the internal power manager
state machine. The state transition reflects on the system conditions as stated below:

a) User activities
b) System activities
c) Application requests
d) Timers

The four states are:

 On - In this state, the device is active and user can use all the different peripherals,

and consequently the battery consumption is on maximum level.

 User Idle - When the user is not using the device actively, the display backlight

intensity will decrease and the unused peripherals will be disabled to reduce power
consumption.

 System Idle -When the system is inactive, the power manager switches to this state.
 Suspend – In this state, the device will consume minimal power. Therefore, the device

can’t be used. The processor clock will be weak and the peripherals will be turned off
automatically.

The transition from On to User Idle and User Idle to Suspend is done once the timer
expires. The timer value can be set through the power applet in the control panel.

If ST5e runs out of Power

Low Battery Power

When battery is running low, user will see a low battery icon in the navigation bar. Kindly
replace or recharge the battery as soon as possible. Running on low battery power will affect
the device’s peripheral performance. Hence, the device will automatically shut down when
the battery power is critically low. Under normal conditions, a fully charged battery can be
used for long hours.

WARNING

If the battery is low during handheld operation, user could face the risk of losing the data in
ST5e.

Use External Power Whenever Possible

Use the AC adapter to plug the ST5e into external power whenever possible, especially
during:

● Establishing a remote connection (some modems use a lot of power).

● Using the backlight feature of user’s ST5e display.

● Connecting to a desktop computer.

Shorten the Auto-Suspend Time

ST5e will automatically suspend after a predefined idle period. Maximize the battery’s
lifespan by shortening the idle time. Tap and then Settings. On the Control Panel tab, tap
Power, and then adjust the Schemes setting.

lifespan. To turn OFF all the unused peripherals, tap and then Settings. On the
Control Panel tab, tap Power Control and switch OFF all the unused peripherals.

43

If ST5e runs out of Memory

Memory of ST5e is shared between storage memory and program memory.Storage memory
is used to store the information created and programs installed. Program memory is used to
run programs in the ST5e. The ST5e automatically manages the allocation between storage
and program memories. However, in some situations, such as when memory is low, the ST5e
may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. If user receives a message stating that
storage or program memory is unavailable, try the following solutions.

Storage Memory-Secure Digital (SD) Storage Card

1. Move data to a Secure Digital (SD) Storage Card.

2. Tap , Program and then Windows Explorer. A folder named “Storage Card” will

appear once the SD memory card is inserted.

3. This folder will disappear automatically once the card is taken out from the slot.

4. Move any file or data into the “Storage Card” folder for backup purposes.

5. Files or data save in the SD card can be opened in any other SD card reader or
computer.

6. Files copied from computer can also be opened in the device, as long
as it does not exceed the memory of the device.

Program memory

1. Stops inactive programs.

2. Clear storage memory as described in the preceding section.

3. Reset the device, as described in “Reset the ST5e”.

Screen is Blank
